Longham Lake venue rules

The current Longham venue guidance states that lure fishing is permitted but bait boats and bait boxes are not. Anglers are asked to follow the site's Check, Clean, Dry biosecurity guidance because invasive plants and animals can carry diseases that harm fish. Day fishing must be booked through Catch and fishing is limited to the published opening period of 7am until one hour after sunset, with the lake closed on Christmas Day. South West Lakes also publishes a separate Longham and South West Water rules document for the full fishery requirements.
