The
Thomaston-Upson Recreation Department is proud to stock and
manage the City/County fishpond for use by local fishing
enthusiast. However, without the assistance of our volunteer
custodians, this fishing privilege would not be possible. With
that in mind, certain rules are necessary for the public to
utilize our facility.
Those rules are as follows:
|
|
~Any person
50 years of age and older, or with a disability verified in
writing by a physician, is allowed to fish at the fish pond on
scheduled fishing days.
~Disabled
persons, if not already approved, must provide a written
statement from physician to the Civic Center for approval by the
Recreation Director before they will be allowed to fish.
~Persons
accompanying the above persons will be allowed inside the fence,
if sufficient room is available. However,
only senior citizens and disabled persons may
fish.
~There is no charge for seniors
and disabled persons to fish on scheduled days.
|
|
~NO ALCOHOLIC
BEVERAGES are allowed on the premises. (Inside or outside
fence).
~There is
No limit
on the number of catfish, bream, or bass one may catch per day. Persons intentionally injuring fish in order
to keep will be banned from fishing.
~All fish
removed from the pond must be shown to the custodian before
leaving the facility. This is so that an accurate record can be
kept of the pond population.
~All types of bait will be
allowed.
~Anyone
disorderly or refusing to obey the pond custodian will be asked
to leave the premises and not be allowed to return without
written permission from the Recreation Director.
~Persons
fishing must remove all equipment, chairs, bait and trash from
the pond each day. Chairs left overnight will be disposed of.
