Important Advice: Help Us Protect Our Fisheries From Disease

Wash & Dry Policy

Please do not enter any fishery with equipment or clothing that may have come into contact with water or fish that has not been thoroughly washed and dried.

Several fisheries in this area have experienced serious fish kills as a result of disease. You can help to significantly reduce the transference of disease by drying all equipment, preferably in sunlight, which will kill the majority of disease organisms.

 Remember: Just one wet item may kill all the fish in a fishery!

 After full consideration the FAS Committee has decided the best course of action is through education and also to ensure that members do not fish unless they have cleaned and dried all equipment.

 Club officials will at every opportunity be checking to ensure that members are complying with the above and any member entering a FAS fishery with wet equipment will be asked to leave.

 Please comply with this advice and help to keep all fisheries disease free.

 Thank you for your co-operation.
