It is compulsory for you to use the dip tanks provided at both the Inn on the Lake and Cobham fisheries. Please use them to dip your landing nets, unhooking mats (and cradles etc.) and weigh slings upon arrival at the fishery and certainly BEFORE placing your nets in the water or when you start fishing.
If you are found not to have done this you will be asked to leave the fishery.
Repeat offenders may be subject to disciplinary action.
Thank you for your cooperation.

It is with regret that with immediate effect fishing at the Paddock Wood fishery is suspended until further notice.
This is due to the Committee being recently informed of a change of owners of the site and affects both the lake and the River Medway.
The Committee is currently in discussions with the new owners, and we will keep TWAPS Members updated.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Rightful owner.

Due to outbreaks in Kent, the Inn On Lake dip tank and rinse tank are now both in use.
Please dip nets, unhooking mats and weigh slings etc. on every visit.
This is to help keep our fish safe.
Dip tanks will be ready to use at Cobham from Wednesday 24th August, late afternoon.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
