Will all members be aware that there is a two rod limit on the
Flixborough pond ? This rule is really common sense on such a small
venue with only the choice of a few pegs available to the angler, if
there are other anglers fishing near you then please do not fan your
rods so that it stops them fishing their swims ?, Anglers should
also be aware that bivies and tents of any kind are not allowed on
our waters especially as we do not allow night fishing, There is
little point on erecting a bivy unless you are going to spend the
night at a venue ?
Please remember do not park your cars where they may cause an
obstruction ?.
Please

Your 2007 - 2008 permit runs out on the 15th June 2008, You must
renew your permit for the 2008 - 2009 season before this date or you

this date whilst in possession of a 2007 - 2008 permit will be asked
to leave the water immediately and may be reprimanded for their
actions, Anglers must also be aware that the Scunthorpe Police

Introduction to The Scunthorpe Police Angling Club
The Scunthorpe Police Angling Club is much like
any other angling club, The town of Scunthorpe is driven by it's
steelworks base and is situated in the North East, Lincolnshire, it
is well known for it's diverse range of angling with many canals,
Stillwater's, pits and rivers within easy striking distance giving
the anglers in these parts the chance to use many different types of
angling techniques throughout the season, we are keen
conservationists and believe whole heartedly in the preservation of
this great sport, the countryside and the creatures that live within
it working hand in hand with all governing bodies i.e. environment
agency, national rivers authority, RSPB guidelines, to ensure it's
safe keeping and longevity, we believe that all anglers should
follow in the protection of the countryside and our waterways not
only for the good of the sport but for the greater good of all, the
angler can quite often be the only person who sees pollution, acts
of cruelty or distress to animals as it happens, our sport has been
the subject of much criticism over the years, it is up to us to show
how caring and conscious we are of the countryside and all that
lives within it, you will find some useful numbers and contact
details on the conservation page so that you may look after the
countryside and it's inhabitants along with some helpful hints on
it's preservation and conservation, angling is a terrific sport that
has been enjoyed in this great country for centuries from the days
when angling was excepted to be one of life's great pastimes and
enjoyed by all from gentry to the commoner, it is one of the only
sports left that brings these people together as equals and has them
enjoying a days friendship as comrades, if angling is your passion
then join a club that is passionate about angling, the countryside
and all things piscatorial, The Scunthorpe Police Angling Club, we
hope to see you soon enjoying this great sport on one of our
fantastic waters. tight lines.

Caring for your Barbel
Release your Barbel carefully into the water
Hold the Barbel head first into the flow until it
begins to swim from your grasp with vigour, this can
take several minutes so be patient
Never attempt to keep Barbel in a keep net for long
periods !
Always peg your net upstream so that any fish can
enter your net and sit in the flow without the need
to turn around , Always try to release Barbel and
other big fish shortly after capture !
