7) Fishing huts are to be left clean and tidy. Litter must be placed in the bins provided.
8) Fishing is to be conducted in a sportsmanlike manner. Tenants are requested to keep moving down a pool whilst fishing and give other rods chance to fish the pool after they have finished.
Salmon and sea trout kelts, red fish and foul hooked fish should be returned to the river unharmed.
9) Details of all salmon and sea trout caught must be entered in the fishing book. This must include all fish returned to the river.

- Float fishing is not permitted.
- Fly only in morning up to 1.00 pm in House Pool, Crow Wood and Duffers and Jackies if water is 2’6” or under on the gauge in House Pool (unless one tenant takes the whole of one beat when this rule can be relaxed).
Environment Agency rules prevent any kind of bait fishing or taking of fish up to June 15. After June 15 rules for bait fishing are outlined above. Fishing with a worm after September 1st is limited to one worm on a size 8 hook or smaller. Care must be taken to return all coloured fish, and any coloured fish hooked on a worm should be returned by cutting the hook off and leaving the hook in the fish.
Other restrictions on fishing have been introduced by the Environment Agency from the start of the season until 15th June. Tenants must observe these rules.
14) No more than two fish per day may be killed by any one angler. See note below:
Stocks of salmon on the Eden are not meeting the Environment Agency’s targets. A Net Limitation Order has been introduced and is in the course of discussion. As well as affecting the nets this could alter the bye-laws to affect angling. To demonstrate responsible exploitation and management Eden Owners have implemented a target of 50% fish returned to the river and a maximum recommended kill of preferably one fish per day.
The NLO will be passed during the season and any new rules introduced by the Environment Agency must be observed.
15) The owner may fish personally after 5.30 pm if conditions permit.
Any tenants who do not observe rules 8), 9) 13) or 14) will be liable to be requested to stop fishing and leave the river.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Tenants are warned that wading can be dangerous. The estate takes no responsibility for any accidents that occur whilst wading. Wading should not be undertaken when the water is very high.
The use of boats in entirely at tenants risk.
GYRODACTYLUS SALARIS
The UK is the last country in Europe not to have this terrible parasite which would wipe out all salmon and trout stocks if it arrived.
All tenants who have fished overseas must disinfect their tackle before fishing either at Warwick or elsewhere.
