The men violated a criminal behaviour order (CBO) that bans them from entering the protected Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and from possessing fishing equipment in the Bassetlaw district. Luke Douglas, 24, and Layton Janes, 30, were found fishing on May 13 with four rods set along the lake bank, using baited rigs to catch carp.
