I had a walk round a local beauty spot today and had a read of a free fishing lakes rules, one of their rules was no casting over 6m!! quite an odd one do you agree??

Not really, there could be underwater snags or anything which could put the fish at harm if you cast any further than 6m

 

its a new rule just been put into place, the lake was drained and reconstructed for the use of a mill in the 1890s so i am unsure as to why, many anglers used to leger with no problems!!

That is what I thought?? would a pole be allowed over 6m?!?!? yeah at woodland view worcestershire they do not allow photographing of fish, i believe its to minimise contact with fish and stop people dropping them!!

Is it used by a sailing club? Sometimes the weekend admirals can get a bit shirty about people having the cheek to share "their" water with them.
