 As several members will be aware we now control the above waters which will be available to Coarse members from 16th June.

This is a MEMBERS ONLY water, NO DAY TICKETS WILL BE ISSUED. Please read the following statement regarding this stretch which has additional rules to those printed in the rule book.
The Elms & Holme Lacy 4 Fisheries
Hereford & District Angling Association are pleased to inform our members that we now control the fishing on the above fisheries. However due to its rural location, we have to adhere to certain restrictions set out by the landowners.
Access is restricted to five vehicles per day, but please note; there is plenty of fishing and so you are advised to car share in order to get the full potential.
We have now set up a booking in system in order to police the water correctly, you will need to provide your name/s, membership number/s, and vehicle registration.
In order to be fair to all members.
No block bookings will be accepted.
No bookings further than two weeks in advance.
Booking in will start from Monday 6th June. ( No calls after 9pm.)
Coarse members must be aware that this is also a Salmon fishery, therefore there may be times when you are asked to stop fishing and give way whilst a Salmon member fishes through your swim. If this occurs please be polite and courteous, they are perfectly entitled to do so and will give you the ultimate respect.
Members must also be aware there are different rules and restrictions in place whilst fishing here and so the following rules all apply.
