About the water

Rode Hill Fishery is at Rode, just outside Frome, and has four lakes: Governor's Lake, Match Lake, Middle Lake and Old Brickyard Lake. The lakes are open throughout the year, with daytime opening hours of 7.30am–8pm in summer and 7.30am–6pm in winter. Night fishing is available by reservation through the fishery. Governor's Lake is intended for specimen carp fishing and has 11 designated public swims. Match Lake covers 2.5 acres, with two central islands and 22 swims. Three wooden platforms have stone tracks leading to them for disabled access. Depths range from 4ft to 10ft, and larger groups or organisations can enquire about reserving the lake. Middle Lake has 15 swims, seven of which are accessible to anglers with disabilities. Its fish include common, mirror and grass carp, roach and tench. Old Brickyard Lake occupies a former clay pit and covers about three acres, with depths of 4ft to 10ft. The website lists two fishing spots and describes it as popular for overnight stays and specimen fishing. Across the fishery, listed species include common, mirror, ghost and grass carp, tench, dace, roach and chub. Three private lodges are available for stays of at least two nights: The Stickleback sleeps two, while The Trout and The Pike each accommodate up to four people.
