FLY FISHING ON THE TROUT LAKES
The four trout lakes are well
stocked with brown and rainbow trout and no fish are put in at less than
takeable size. Most are introduced to the lakes at about 1.5lb. to 2.0lb but there
are much larger specimens to be caught with weights well into double figures.
The wild brown trout in the fresh water brook will prove a match for even the
most skilful angler. The lakes are open to trout anglers all the year round but
fishing in the brook is not permitted between September 30th and April
1st. Fly fishing tackle is available for hire and a good selection
of flies can be found at the bailiff's cabin. Recommended flies with a
size 20 hook include:- Little black buzzer, cat's whisker, bloodworm
imitation.
The trout lakes are re-stocked at least weekly - or to demand - from our own
home grown trout stock.
COARSE FISHING
The four coarse lakes,
situated at the far end of the fishery contain all the variety of fish that you
would expect to find in a high quality water. In particular. there are some fine
specimens of large carp. Re-stocking takes place on a regular basis.
Most of the stock, including carp, is home produced.
Because of the close proximity of the Keepers' Lane car park, the coarse lakes
are particularly well suited to disabled anglers.
Recommended baits include:- Maggots (whites and pinkies), sweetcorn,
luncheon meat and, in summer, floating bread crust.
Fishing tackle is available for hire.
REFRESHMENTS
Sizzling English breakfasts are served at peak times at the log cabin
snack bar, pictured above, which can be found close to the coarse lakes' car park.
Most of our food is home cooked and contains mainly local produce.
