FISHING ETIQUETTE
9. A fisherman commencing to fish in front of a fisherman fishing the opposite bank should commence fishing at least one hundred yards downstream from the opposite angler, or in a different pool. When starting behind the opposite fisherman allow a separation of at least fifty yards.
10. A fisherman must make steady progress downstream while fishing a pool thereby allowing any following fisherman on either side of the beat equal progress through the pool.
11. A fisherman should show awareness of others fishing the river and should be prepared to lift his line out of the water by request should a fisherman on the opposite bank be playing a fish.
12. If you are sharing a rod then the combined fishing effort should not exceed that which could be expected from one reasonably fit person. Fishing in relay is not permitted without allowing time to pass for the person finishing the pool to walk back up to the start.
DEE CONSERVATION CODE
13. To assist the work of the charity The River Dee Trust we apply a Levy on all rods hired by the week or part week (£10.00 per rod per week). The total Levy collected will be donated to the charity The River Dee Trust at the end of each season.
14. Details of all fish caught (weights, pools in which they were caught, date etc) should be reported to the ghillie or the office.
INSURANCE

16. Clients and guests are advised to wear and use their own personal protective equipment where appropriate. This should include chest waders, wading stick, appropriate clothing and flotation equipment to marine standards.
17. The insurance cover in the fishing huts and on the rod-boxes does not extend to the property of tenants. If you wish to leave your belongings in the huts or rod-boxes it is at your own risk and you are advised to ensure that you have adequate insurance cover for sports and other items when travelling.
