New NRW Byelaws
New byelaws have been introduced by Natural Resources Wales, effective from January 1st 2020. These byelaws will now supersede any previous bylewas put in place by the club prior to January 2020. With the exception of the following:
All sea trout caught after the 1st of September on association waters must be returned.
No More than two sea trout to be retained per angling trip
The new regulations mean that all salmon caught by rod and net fisheries must be released, as must all rod-caught sea trout over 60cm. There are also further restrictions on angling methods designed to improve the survival of released fish.
Before fishing this year all members must familiarise themselves with the changes. Please click below to view these new changes in full.

Club Rules
Sea Trout Daily Limit:
Rules for Fishing the Baskets Pool: Odd and Even Permits
Fishing the pool is based on the calendar month. So if you have an even ticket/permit number you will fish on an even date say the 8th, 10th or 12th and visa versa for odd ticket/permit numbers.
With regards to Night fishing, here is an example: if you wish to night fish on the 12th and have an even number ticket, you may fish through until the morning of the 13th. However you will not be allowed to return to fish the Baskets on the evening of the 13th. Daylight fishing is date dependant, for example if a flood arrives on 14th of June only evens permit holders may fish the Baskets, that day.
The Baskets pool gets very heavily fished and this rule is aimed at reducing the number of anglers who fish it daily. Do not forget we have a further 8 miles of river which offers very good fishing, which you may fish whenever you wish.
