Yes, fishing in our private lake is included in your stay but you will need a valid rod licence. These can be a day pass or a full week. Please visit the Environment Agency website for more details. We don’t provide rods but we do have a couple of landing nets and an unhooking mat that you are welcome to borrow. We ask that all fishing tackle is sanitised with the spray provided in the ‘Riverside Retreat’, in order to ensure the bio-security of our lake, and that you use barbless hooks. The lake is stocked with several species of Carp, including Common, Linear and Mirror. We also have Perch, Roach, Rudd and Bream.
