Mixed coarse water

Kingfisher Lake

The mixed water, and the busier of the two. Fish to eighteen pounds and far more variety — good for a steady day rather than a waiting game.

A valid Environment Agency rod licence is required. Landing nets and slings go through the disinfectant dip before you fish — the station is marked on the park map.

Fish from your pitch

Pitch S10 comes with its own peg.

A hardstanding without services, but with a private fishing peg attached. Laurel Lodge has the same arrangement if you would rather have a roof.
