Permitted Baits
Common sense is required as to the types and amounts of baits used, the ponds are shallow (circa 1m deep) and therefore easily soured. We do permit floating baits; care is required so as not to endanger the wildlife (most of which were hatched or born here). The following baits are known to give results:
Sweet corn
Luncheon meat and other processed meats
Maggot
Bread and dough
