The Club is delighted to announce that the boat angling will reopen at the Corbet Lough from 1 April 2022 with a couple of new Boat Attendants appointed for the 2022 season. In addition to the normal Boat Angling rules and Corbet Lough rules boat anglers should note the following key changes for the coming season:
A. The boat hire rate will increase slightly to £4 per hour per boat. In addition there will now also be a special deal rate of 6 hours for £20. Any hours in excess of the 6 hours will be charged at £4 per hour. These prices include the electric engine, battery and life jackets and still represents great value for money for the boat sharing anglers. All boat hire charges must be paid prior to commencing fishing. There will be no refunds except in exceptional circumstances. (Refunds can only be authorised by the Committee.)
B. The boats will only be charged in full hour slots i.e. 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours etc. Therefore if you are out in the boat for 1.5hrs you will be charged for a 2 hour slot (£8).
C. Boat angling will now be available 5 days per week (Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) from 1 April until 31 October. The opening hours will depend on the month and there will be no COVID restrictions this season.
D. Boat anglers who dispatch their 2 fish can continue to fish catch and release until the end of their boat hire period. There will be no refunds for anglers who cease fishing early because they have dispatched their 2 fish.
The boat angling at the Corbet is a bespoke and unique angling facility for members and indeed all game anglers locally. It is important that anglers continue to support and use this facility by regularly going for a few hours boat fishing at the Corbet.
All anglers must be courteous and respectful towards the Club’s new Boat Attendants and please also be patient as they find their feet in these new positions.
