About the water

Castanet Fishery offers coarse fishing, with carp of 15lb-plus among the species mentioned on its website. Fishing costs £10 per peg per day, while an unlimited fishing option is available for £40 per month by calling the venue. Fishing is free for guests and seasonal pitch holders. Peg bookings are directed through the venue’s booking page, and matches can be arranged. The page lists lake-exclusive matches every Wednesday, as well as Sunday 9 August and Sunday 30 August 2026. These bookings restrict access, so anglers should take the listed match dates into account when planning a visit. Anglers must hold a valid Environment Agency rod licence and use barbless hooks. The rules prohibit braided tackle and keepnets, except that keepnets are permitted during matches. Groundbait must be used in moderation, with a maximum of half a kilo. Bloodworm, boilies, nuts and floating baits are not allowed. A landing net must be used to land every fish, and no fish may be removed, whether dead or alive. Dogs must remain under control and on leads, and all litter must be taken home. Anyone breaking the fishery rules will be asked to leave immediately.
