Hi all,
After a bit of advice about night fishing on the Severn. I am thinking of giving it a go this season, I just wandered what was the rules/etiquette was around the type of sleeping/camping equipment was? I guess you would setup on the bank rather than on the peg due to space/safety and is it ok to have a small one man tent setup?
Any advice is very welcome, I do not want to do the wrong thing.
Thanks.

Re: River Night Fishing advice.
Night fishing on BAA waters is strictly limited to particular venues, and only after purchasing an additional permit. Night permits cost £10 per night and are issued for specific venues and dates.
Camping is not allowed at any BAA venue, so the setting up of a one man tent would be a breach of our rules.
Using a 'bivvie' in the peg where you are fishing is permitted, however setting one up away from the waterside in the adjoining ground would be considered 'camping'. After all, the purpose of night fishing is to fish and not to sleep - at least in my humble opinion.

Re: River Night Fishing advice.
Thanks for the reply and your humble opinion also, I was only asking because I could not find any information anywhere about night fishing but now I am very clear.
