Our Safety Rules for Night Fishing at Nineoaks.

Our Rules are:-

• Night Fishing or 24 hours Fishing by prior arrangement only;
• No angler is allowed to night fish alone. There must be at least two anglers fishing together;
• No Carp or Coarse fishing anywhere on the Trout Lakes;
• No fish to be taken off-site;
• No petrol or similar combustible fuels anywhere near the sides of a lake;
• A maximum of 2 rods per person;
• A Bivvy, a tent or similar all-night angling cover must be used;
• An un-hooking mat to be used at all times - without exception;
• At least one proper night lantern for lighting the base area, and each angler must wear their own headlight! If you don’t have these then you won’t be allowed to fish. Should you need one, Headlights are available to purchase on-site. A base-light helps you see where you put your feet and a head-light helps you see what you're doing such as rigging-up or un-hooking a fish;
• We recommend that you have proper waterproofs to be available, even if not worn;
• Finally, Spare Warm clothing, jumpers, socks etc., also to be available - at 3am you can not believe how cold it can become, even in summer!
• Although not mandatory but definitely worthwhile doing nonetheless, we suggest that you invest in a fully waterproof bag to hold and keep your spare clothes dry at all times. It is surprising how muddy or wet your bivvy groundsheet can become when fishing during inclement weather!

The cost of Night Fishing, a trifling £22 per angler for each 24hours of fishing? Here Night anglers often do one of two things - they remove their rods from the water about 2am, so they can have some sleep or, they fish on and pack up at 6am - knackered! The night fishing for our Carp can be awesome during the spring, summer and autumn months. During winter months although fishing is slower than when the weather is warmer it can still provide goog sport.

Please dip for 10 minutes all personal landing nets before fishing - thank you for your co-operation.
