Lake Rules

Below are a list of rules that we must make everyone aware of, and must be adhered to by everyone at all times. The rules are made to ensure safety, respect to both anglers and the carp, and to help everyone maintain a relaxing experience during their time here in safe surroundings. Please appreciate, there will be a difference of abilities and experiences with anglers coming to the lake, so we have to cover most of what may seem obvious to some, in the rules, to make sure everybody is aware no matter what their experience as an angler. We appreciate you are on holiday, however anyone found NOT adhering to the rules, will be asked to leave, and any deposits/monies will not be reimbursed. We DO NOT hold responsibility for loss, breakages, or theft of anyones belongings whilst at Flores.

To all our customers.

It has come to our attention that despite our rules & restriction requests we are still being ignored. Our rules are:- 5 kg of boilies per person fresh/frozen.

No shelf-life boilies, no home made baits.

Pellets, groundbaits and particles are not allowed therefore DO NOT BRING!!!

Drive and Revive customers the same rules apply and we can only accommodate 5kg of bait per person in our freezer.

PLEASE KEEP YOUR BOILIES SEPERATE (NOT IN BUCKETS) TO YOUR TACKLE AS YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PUT INSIDE A BAIT COLD BOX IN THE TRAILER, ANY MORE THAN 5KG WILL NOT BE TAKEN…YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

We are not imposing these rules for financial reasons.Our fishery managers have worked hard developing our range of boilies and pellets to promote good health and growth of our stock and healthy water to support our fish, which benefits all our customers when catching pristine conditioned carp. We appreciate most baits commercially available would benefit our fishery, we cannot police or control the quality so this is why we have chosen the restrictions. We have not gone down the route of several other commercial waters of completely banning all other baits. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation .
