Fishery Rules
These rules are to ensure that everyone can enjoy their time at Cudmore.
Please read through the rules carefully before booking.
Please check individual lakes for further rules and requirements.
There is now a draw system in place for Tara, Avoca, Georges and Adelaide.
​
You can arrive onsite from 1pm and walk a lake. A draw will take place between 1.30pm and 2pm. The draw will take place once everyone who is arriving for your lake has arrived. If you cant be onsite for 2pm then the draw will take place regardless and you will be able to choose from the pegs have not been chosen.
We determine who has first pick of the available pegs by drawing numbers from a bag once everyone has arrived. You pick your own peg, we do not tell you where to sit. Groups who only intend to fish from 2 swims next to each other can share 1 ball. We try our hardest to keep social groups together.
You do have the chance to move into a vacant peg once you are on a lake. You simply need to wait until the peg you want is free then call reception to let us know where you are moving to.
You need to be off your peg by 1pm on the day you leave so we can start the draw process again.
This new system has made the fishery a much more enjoyable and friendly place to be.
No one gets priority over anyone else as it's no longer first come first served.
