RE: Unhooking Mats

At BenLee Lakes, fish care is not optional — it is a responsibility shared by every angler on the bank.

That is why the use of an unhooking mat is compulsory at all times.

An unhooking mat provides a safe, padded surface that protects fish from injury, scale damage, stress, and infection while they are being unhooked, photographed, or prepared for release. Even a brief moment on hard ground, gravel, or wooden platforms can cause serious harm to a fish’s protective slime coat and leave it vulnerable long after it swims away.

At BenLee Lakes, we are committed to maintaining healthy, thriving fish stocks and ensuring every capture is returned in the best possible condition for future generations of anglers to enjoy.

Please remember:

* Always wet your unhooking mat before placing a fish on it

* Keep the fish low to the ground at all times.

* Have your scales, sling, and camera ready beforehand to minimise handling time.

* Return fish safely and calmly as quickly as possible.

Fish welfare comes before photographs, personal bests, or social media.

Thank you to everyone who respects the fish, the fishery, and fellow anglers by following the rules and helping protect the future of BenLee Lakes.

Thank you!
Ivor 🎣
