Yes all our lakes are designated for Fly Fishing. We stock Trout in all lakes apart from one lake at Weston that is a Carp lake.

No coarse fishing permitted.

All lakes open at 08:30 and close at dusk.

Each token purchased represents a fish caught. For each fish caught a token is placed in the return box at each lake.
A token is valid for the fishing season (April 1st -  March 31st)
If you don’t use all your fish tokens on your visit unused tokens are carried over to your next visit.
You can exchange unused fish the token at Kingfisher farm shop for a frozen trout during the last few days of the season.
