UNATTENDED RODS
ARE AN OFFENCE
Unattended rods are an offence
We have recently received
several reports of anglers leaving
rods unattended while fishing.
Please remember that under the
National Rod Fishing Licence
Byelaws, anglers must remain in
control of their rod and line at all
times. Leaving rods unattended
is an offence and may result in
enforcement action. Aside from
being illegal, unattended rods
can cause unnecessary harm to
fish and wildlife and create risks
for other water users such as
boaters and swimmers. Please
fish responsibly and ensure your
rod is always attended.
