Note 1 : The Methods of Fishing Rules 2007 state that all eels count. When fishing the Open Beach, Open Boat and the Junior Open Beach Matches, the Minimum Size of 38 Cms counts and not the "ALL EELS COUNT RULE".

Note 2: Species of fish not listed above for example Red Mullet are categorised as "UNCLASSIFIED" so therefore has a minimum Landing size of 20 Cms.
