Relocating

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm wondering if there are any regulations in place for moving boats from one water to another. I wouldn't want to introduce something in another venue that wasn't there already. e.i. zebra mussels or signal crays.

 

I'm actually looking for reasons not to..

 

The reason:

I was asked to retrieve something lost in a reservoir belonging to Yorkshire Water and thought it prudent to ask permission for access versus asking forgiveness after the fact. The water does not allow boating and I didn't want to expose the water in question to something foreign (err besides myself :D )

 

Thanks in advance!

Jeff

Whilst it's good practice to try not to transfer diseases etc between waters on hulls of boats, I don't think there's any rulings in place. Canoe'ers move canoes all over the place, and as anglers we are not obliged to clean nets etc. A boat kept out of water will also be cleaned of water born nasties by fresh air and sunlight.

Hmm, Thats pretty much what I thought originally. Thanks Rob

 

I'd bet YW will be more concerned about third party insurance which may be why boating was banned to begin with.
