Woodside Fishery Rules

RULES

In order to protect the well being of both fellow anglers, and the surrounding wildlife, the fishery asks that you abide by the following rules. Note, fishery rules are in place to ensure the welfare of fish stocks so that you, the angler can continue to enjoy your fishing at Woodside. They are not in place to hinder or obstruct the angler in any way. Careful consideration has been given to each one of the below rules - they are not there for the sake of it, or because we are simply following trends or fads.
