Orchard Lakes venue rules

The current Orchard Lakes website does not publish a complete fishing rule book, individual lake tackle restrictions or a detailed ticket structure. It directs fishing enquiries to Shane on 07790 915434 and notes that closing times vary between May and September, while the published October to April opening period ends at 5pm. Those first-party details are used here rather than adding unsupported lake-specific rules.
