SWIMMING AND FISHING AT HATCHMERE July 2008
An agreement has been reached between Prince Albert Angling Society (PAAS - the resident fishing club) and Friends of Hatchmere (FoH - on behalf of the bathers and swimmers) aimed at achieving long-lasting, peaceful co-existence and making the lake a better place for all to enjoy.
The agreement is not legally binding and relies on individual lake users accepting it voluntarily. All users are kindly asked to follow the proposed guidelines in order to ensure that the objectives of the agreement are achieved.
PAAS and FoH have agreed :
a) to acknowledge each other’s right to use the lake and work together towards making the site a place which everyone can enjoy without interference.
b) to recommend to their members and supporters that when fishing and swimming activities take place simultaneously, swimmers would remain within a sector of approximately 40 degrees centred on the water edge at the Sandy Bay as shown on the map. Anglers would refrain from casting into that area.
