Notice to be BAA members – Fish Spawning

Notice to be BAA members – Fish Spawning

Will members please note that all BAA fisheries will remain

closed until the 1st June 2020 to allow for the fish to complete

spawning.

Whilst it is fully appreciated that everyone wants to get back to

fishing, the safety of the very valuable stock in the fisheries

must take precedence.

Hunstrete still remains off limits until reopened.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BAA COMMITTEE NEWTON PARK – UPPER LAKE

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE BAA COMMITTEE

NEWTON PARK – UPPER LAKE

 

It has been brought to the attention of the committee by the administrators at Bath Spa College that fishing activities have been taking place at the UPPER lake.

BAA members do not have permission to fish this lake and any member fishing there will be deemed to be poaching and as such bringing the name of the Association into disrepute.

If apprehended, membership of the Association will cease immediately for the individual(s) pending a tribunal by the Association and the most likely outcome will be a life ban from the Association.

The administrators at the college will also be within their rights to pursue prosecution against any individual fishing the Upper Lake and security staff have been made aware of the situation and

will be vigilant in curtailing this illegality.
