Fishing rules for Eisteddfa Trout Lake

All trout caught must be taken, and no bait fished trout may be returned to the water. Tickets are by the bag, and extra fish are charged for and tickets cannot be upgraded. Bait fishermen must keep all the fish they catch and stop fishing once the bag limit is reached or buy a new ticket. Spinning is not permitted. Power bait is not permitted. No loose feeding: bait on the hook only. Taking more fish than you have paid for is theft and the fishery prosecutes. No fires, radios or disposable barbecues. Well behaved dogs are welcome with their owners and must be kept near you on the peg. A rod licence is needed for anyone aged 16 or over, and a free junior licence for ages 13 to 16.
