Have you all seen the Rolfs website lately. They're getting 200 - 250lb weights now on the meat over pellet. The waggler is a better method than the method feeder. Fish pellet or meat up in the water. You'll need a big landing net as a lot of doubles are being caught.

steve0070 · 27th April 2007, 10:02 PM

the method feeder is not allowed

just a straight running cage feeder

I can help ref the rules.

Below are the rules as per Rolfs site for opens run there, BUT as it is HIS fishery he can a does change them from time to time.

The latest rule which does NOT appear in the list is regards running line now being allowed.

Running line means floats, straight lead and cage feeders (METHOD FEEDERS ARE BANNED) as are any fixed feeders/leads.

Before the draw takes place on the day Rolf will make everyone aware of all the rules which are in place.

I'm there the Saturday before so will update any info i can for everyone afterwards.

Rule 1. Nets.

All nets including landing nets must be dipped in the net dip before use.

Rule 2. Hooks.

Manufactured barbless hooks only, NO crushed, pinched or nipped barbs. No hook shall be larger than a Kamasan B911 size 10. Regardless of the stated size on the packet a Kamasan B911 size 10 will be used to settle any dispute.

Rule 3. Baits.

a. The Following baits are banned:

Sweetcorn - Allowed as Hookbait (will need to be confirmed on the day)
Cat food
Macaroni
Trout Pellets
Floating Loose feed
Floating Baits
Bread

b. The Following baits are limited to a maximum as follows:

Luncheon meat 350gm - Hook bait only

Please Note: THE ONLY FEEDING PELLET ALLOWED IS FROM FREEDOM FEEDS AND MUST BE IN ORIGINAL BAG. AVAILABLE FROM SITE.

ANY SURPLUS BAIT SHOULD BE THROWN INTO DEEPER WATER AND NOT CLOSE TO THE BANK NOR ON THE BANK

Rule 4. Elastics.

Elastics Must be through Carp Power Top 2 NO EXCEPTIONS). Elastics must allow for a reasonable amount of stretch. Anglers using over tightened elastics will be invited to slacken off the tension during the match or cease using the offending top set. NO EXCEPTIONS. The welfare of the Carp remains paramount in all circumstances - repeat offenders may face immediate disqualification at the discretion of the fishery owner NO EXCEPTIONS.

MULLETO SYSTEM IS BANNED

Rule 5. Litter.

No Cans at the waters edge, this includes drinks and bait cans. Anyone found littering will risk a full ban.

Rule 6. Keepnet's.

a. No Carp over 8lb in weight shall be kept in a keepnet. Such fish will be weighed, witnessed and returned immediately.

b. Minimum TWO Carp type keepnet's. All Nets are to be of a Carp Netting Type. One net shall be reserved for fish to 4lb Only and refereed to as the Small fish net. Fish between 4lb and 8lb should be kept in a separate net. Small fish total weight in net not to exceed 80lb, Large net not to exceed 100lb.

c. Unless in a specified Silver fish match, All silver fish are to be returned to the lake immediately, regardless of size. Each fish may be individually weighed and witnessed to add to an anglers total for the match, again regardless of size.

I know in print they can look awful and difficult to follow but believe me once there you'll find it all makes sense and is easy to follow.

Ref the weighing and returning of fish those that have not been before will be surprised how simple and effective a system it is.

Hope the above helps.

Malc the way i seem to attract skimmers when I really want carp is unreal those scales could be at my peg most of the day

as for any fishery if you dont like the rules you can always vote with your feet.
Me i could not really care what I catch as long as I have a day amongst good company and the float goes under a few times, right now wheres that heavy no 6 elastic to put through some carp top twos well it does have to stretch a bit dont it

MALC · 30th April 2007, 11:25 PM

LOL Bri,

When i have my matches at Rolfs i always allow Silvers (funny none carpie things) to be weighed and most people take 3 nets so as 1 is kept for silvers to go in (although in 1 match i ran there 1 person did individualy weigh 3 x 2oz Roach as he knew how waters switch off when i'm there).

To keep the Skimmers and other funny coloured things away DONT use any groundbait as all it does is fill the swim with them.

Sounds like Andy222 has been telling you how to fish it.

At least he gave me a good laugh when he fished it before as i was pegged next to him, watching his lacky streaming across the lake followed by abuse as another rig parted company.

I'm sure that amongst those going there will be a few nets spare if extras are needed.
