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. 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.One lake is devoted almost entirely to carp. Re-stocking takes place on a regular basis. Most of the stock, including carp, is home produced. Club matches can be staged by arrangement. Tel: (0114 289 0543)
Because of the close proximity of the Keepers' Lane car park, the coarse lakes are
particularly well suited to disabled anglers.

(whites and pinkies), sweetcorn, luncheon meat and, in summer, floating bread crust.

tackle is available for hire.
