The Pike Lake - Lake No.6
Day Tickets, 24 hour tickets and season passes

This lake screams Pike! With all the features a pike angler likes to see including rush beds and sunken trees. Fish over 20lb are regularly caught.

Day tickets for the pike lake can be bought from 'The Tacle Den', our on-site fishing tackle shop. Deadbaits work extremely well on this lake, the oilier the better, with lampray and herring being particularly effective. Try fishing these popped up, on very low resistance rigs for best results. Most fish are caught on the marginal shelf, with many fish caught at dusk and into darkness.

During the summer months lure fishing tactics are often deadly for the pike and perch and many people are now experimenting with flyfishing with great results. Chest waders are a must to make the most of all the structure that's in the margins in the form of sunken trees and reed beds.

Vehicles can be parked in the visitors centre between 8am and 6pm. 24 hour parking is available at Churn Pool Trout Fishery.

Bradley's - Lake No.16
Day Tickets, 24 hour tickets and season passes

Bradley's is a fantastic pike fishery, it's very underfished. This is a clear water fishery that responds well to big water tactics. Drifted deadbaits are the best way to explore this huge water. Again many of the fish are caught just off the marginal shelf, deadbaits are again very effective, with many takes being at dusk or within the first hours of darkness.

Day tickets for the pike lake can be bought fron 'The Tacle Den', our on-site fishing tackle shop. There are several car parks on Bradley's, details will be provided at 'The Tackle Den' when you buy your ticket.
