BAA Bans Carp In Keepnets

The BAA Executive Committee have agreed a new clause in the Association Bye-laws which will outlaw the keeping of carp in keepnets - except during official contests. The new bye-law comes into immediate effect.

The bye-law states: No carp shall be retained in any keepnet, carp sack, or any other vessel, at any Association  pool or lake, with the exception of fish caught whilst participating in a bona fide contest  sanctioned by the Association.
