When fishing, every angler is required to carry a valid license (year, week, day). This permit is of course strictly personal. Upon request, the permit must be presented to authorized persons for inspection. Authorized persons are police, members, board members and inspectors. Inspectors are in possession of a valid ID, signed by the chairman and secretary. In the event of a violation, they have the right to withdraw the permit, after which the board, i.o.a. the controller, measures can be taken against the data subject.

It is strictly prohibited to perform actions that cause damage to vegetation, the fishing grounds, buildings and other property of the association. Under no circumstances may waste, food scraps, excess fish food, etc. be deposited in the water; waste bins are provided for this purpose. Waste in any form may not be left on your fishing spot.

Fishing is allowed from 1 hour before sunrise to 1 hour after sunset. Night fishing is not permitted unless the board has granted members an exemption in advance on announced nights.

Seniors may fish with 2 rods, juniors (up to 15 years) with 1 rod. Floating fishing is not permitted. You are required to stay with the fishing rod(s). When leaving the fishing spot, you must take the fishing rod(s) out of the water and remove the bait from the hook. The use of a keepnet is only permitted during competitions.

Caught fish should always be handled with care and released (Catch & Release).

When fishing, a landing net, proper unhooking equipment and unhooking mat are mandatory.
Fishing is done with barbless hooks.

Scooping uncaught fish is prohibited. Fishing with more than 1 leader is prohibited. Fishing with more than one hook is prohibited (with the exception of artificial bait). When carp fishing, the use of braided line is prohibited (with the exception of the leader).

Fishing with “live bait” (including live fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds or mammals) is not allowed. Fishing with maggots, worms, mosquito larvae, etc. is permitted (with the exception of colored maggots). Digging for worms on the property is not permitted.

Feeding while fishing or creating feeding areas is expressly prohibited.

Open fire and/or barbecue are prohibited. It is also prohibited to place tents, bivvies or wind screens, etc. on the pond. Only an umbrella or an umbrella with an overwrap is allowed. Causing nuisance (music, running, shouting, etc.) is prohibited. Bicycles and mopeds may not be placed on or parked on the fishing path. Dogs must be on a leash.

The association cannot be held liable in the event of loss or damage to goods belonging to anglers or visitors, as well as in the event of accidents or injury. In the event of damage to property surrounding the fishing area, strict measures will be taken against the person involved.

In the event of disagreement, the inspectors are unconditionally vindicated by the board. In cases not provided for in these regulations, the board will decide.

Fishing without a permit is not allowed and punishable by law. When asked, you have to be able to show a year,

week or day permit. Week and day permits can be bought at the reception of Landal "Hoog Vaals".
