Match fishing regulations

[p eye]

Hi all,

I was wondering if any of you could tell me what the official ruling is on distances between pegs in match fishing. I am talking official match comitee rullings. I need to peg out our new match lake. Cheers Jacko

Does it really matter. If they are your ponds then do as you see fit. Be sensible and don't put pegs close together in the corners so that lines cross. No one likes anyone 'sat on their knee'so the more room between the pegs the better.

I'd make them a minimum 15 metres apart where possible. Most pole owners have a 12 metres pole. 15 metres gives you the safety margin and comfort of fishing as well.

I am not sure about this one, but say it was a big lake and you wanted to run maybe Kamasan points - it is over 70 pegs to qualify, then maybe the lakes pegging would have to conform to some NAF or similar body ruling ..

otherwise anyone turning up new to it maybe in a bit of a quandry

 

don't know sorry - there's nothing on the NFA, but I did get a good lead to an insurer !!

I've just pegged out our canal at Loughborough ready for the national this year and all pegs have been done at 18 yards apart.

Contact the NFA for a copy of their Model Match Rules. This should help.

If possible a minimum of 10 metres!
