The Rules of Utopia - Keeping carp fishing in France at its best

The Rules

If you have any questions regarding anything we have not covered here please don't hesitate to contact us.

• Maximum of 4 rods per angler.
  


• Unhooking mats must be of a large size and used at all times. If you don't have what we consider to be a large enough unhooking mat you will be made to hire one at a cost of £15.00 for the week.
  


• While fish are out of the water, they must be kept wet at all times, and treated with the utmost care. If you catch what you think is an injured or unhealthy fish please retain the fish and alert either myself or Dave. You must also have a bottle of carp antiseptic.
  


• Fish are to be returned to the water as soon as is possible.
  


• The use of Carp sacks is strictly forbidden.
  


• Self prepared particle is not allowed. Particle prepared by a reputable company may be used. eg Dynamite Baits
  


• Rubbish must be disposed of in the correct bins.
  


• Cars are to be parked in the car parking areas at all times, and cars are not to be driven around the lake.
  


• No boats except bait boats are allowed on the lake.
  


• No Lead Core or any type of shock leader is allowed to be used, except on your spod rod.
  


• No Fires.
  


• For those using the Utopia Lodge or the static caravan, it must be vacated by 10.00am on your departure date. It would be appreciated if you could leave it in a reasonable condition.
  


• As our fishing holidays start from 12.00 noon Saturday, you must have vacated your swim by 11.00 o'clock.
  


• Rods are NOT to be left unattended at anytime, if you have to leave your swim you must reel in.
