UNATTENDED RODS ARE AN OFFENCE
IN FOCUS
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.
