LATEST UPDATES
River Ure at Worton Bridge
We are pleased to announce that we have taken the rental again of a length of the River Ure which extends the fishing at Worton Bridge. With effect from 1 August 2011, BCAA Members and their guests will be able to fish downstream from Worton Bridge all the way to the weir. See full details of this fishing here.
Oakworth Lakes
At its meeting on 11 July 2011, the General Committee agreed to change the rules governing the fishing on Oakworth Lakes. BCAA Members and their guests may now use one rod ONLY at both of the lakes at this fishery, and not two rods on the larger lake. See full details for this fishery.
Whilst the Committee recognises this may cause issue with some anglers, the decision has been made to protect over-exploitation of existing fish stocks at this venue.
Keepnets may continue to be used but anglers should ensure that:
a) they do not keep large quantities of fish in keepnets for long periods
b) that they observe Rule 2 of the Coarse Season section of the Fishing Regulations (see page 22 of the 2011 Yearbook). This states that any carp of more than 1 lb may never be kept in keepnets, but released immediately following their capture.
If this rule is not observed, then the Committee reserves the right to ban the use of keepnets at Oakworth entirely.
