All anglers should take care whilst fishing, particularly when wading. Be careful
when back casting if there are other persons behind you, particularly non-anglers.
Be extra careful if there are overhead wires or cables nearby, especially when using
carbon fibre rods. Carbon fibre is a high conductor of electricity, and contact with
electric power lines can kill or cause severe bums.

Anglers should keep moving when fishing all waters and not start to fish in front of an
angler already fishing - start behind.
Avoid trespass and close all gates behind you.
Keep any dog on a leash.
Park your car with care and consideration. Do not obstruct any gates, openings, roads
or ways.
Take all litter, including discarded line, home with you.
Observe the Country Code and the Game Angling Code.
Consider the guidelines of the Conservation Angling for Salmon on the Tyne (the
CAST guidlines) see website.

breeding fish.
