Rules & Conduct
Access to private water is a privilege, not a right.
Every angler represents the outdoor community when stepping onto private land.
Follow these principles at all times.
1. Respect the Landowner
Always follow the rules set by the property owner. Their property, their decision.
2. Never Trespass
Do not fish private water without permission. One bad experience can ruin access for everyone.
3. Leave No Trace
Pack out everything you bring in. If you see trash, pick it up.
4. Protect the Fishery
Practice catch and release unless the landowner requests otherwise.
5. Fish Alone Unless Approved
Never bring friends or guests without explicit permission.
6. Respect Property
Close gates, avoid driving on fields, and never disturb livestock or equipment.
7. Keep Locations Private
Do not share the pond location publicly or on social media.
8. Be Grateful
Always thank the landowner for the opportunity and respect their time.
