If I remember right you're not even allowed to use your own boat
. Something about hiring them.
Can't say I've ever seen another boat on the water though. I presume they're based at the big hotel with the spires but not sure.
Venachar is an easy paddle away and less prescriptive.
Fish have been caught at previous meets but obviously it wouldn't be right to just say "sod them, do what you like!".
Before anyone has a go, I don't fish freshwater. Can't be bothered with the regulations. On the odd occasion I have it's been with a permit and within the law.
