General

It is in the interests of all anglers that permit holders should observe all Federation rules and Statutory Provisions and anglers are reminded that the Board has unlimited discretion to cancel permits without refund of fees paid and refuse future applications for permits. The presence of nets, fixed lines, other illegal devices or any illegal activity should be reported to the Head Bailiff and the E.A. Do not touch any illegal equipment as this can prevent a successful prosecution. Photograph Policy: All photographs should be taken with the fish left in the net in the water. If the fish is moved from the water for a good reason (e.g. specimen fish) it should be held in an appropriate way just above the water level and released as soon as possible.

The Duke of Northumberland shall be Patron of the Federation which shall be a supporter and honorary position only with no management responsibility.

Permit holders may submit proposals concerning the fishing on Federation waters to the Board. Such proposals shall be addressed in writing to the Secretary.

All matter of detail or dispute, in any way arising, shall be left to the Board for settlement, and Board's decision is final.
