Weekly stocking of rainbows over 2lb, with its fair share of 10lb plus, gives anglers of all levels of experience the opportunity to hook into fish which have an established reputation of pulling very, very hard.

NEW  - Horsetail Retreat Carp & Tench Lake

The thrill of not being sure what you’re going to hook next entices anglers to visit our carp lake. Its secluded, sheltered setting lends itself to young and old who want to get out there and maybe catch a Carp, Tench or Rudd. Our wee Coarse Tea Hut can supply a hot beverage and means there’s a handy refuge in case of rain.


Maintaining fish quality is one of our highest priorities. Therefore fishing numbers are strictly limited to annual ticket holders (£200). Applications are welcome by visiting the fishery in person and chatting to the Lake Manager, Andy Cooper.

Worm, maggot, corn, all hook baits, are permitted on barbless hooks








*Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult when boat fishing
