Our fly lake

THE FLY LAKE (AROUND ONE ACRE)

Very well established in 2008, at one point this lake was little more than a silt trap for the main lake with a small centre island. It was de silted and deepened to a depth of around 6 foot in 2001 and again in 2004. The lake itself is very popular and can easily accommodate around 18 anglers at any one time. It is stocked with Brownies, Blueys, and Rainbows up to a weight of 20lbs. Terrestrials blow off the surrounding farmland and the two streams feeding the lake bring in natural food.

The fly lake is an ideal venue for those that just want a couple of hours fishing or a full days uninterrupted sport. The lake continues to yield excellent returns with most anglers reporting a bag of seven or more fish per person per session. Anglers are asked to record their catch and method after each session so that stocks can be replenished and so that other anglers can see what methods/tactics are working etc. Like all the lakes at Pendle View, catch returns are emailed out in fishing reports so that anglers can see what methods are working. Natural flies present include damsels, sedges, buzzer and bloodworm. Anglers fishing this lake are asked to wear sunglasses and head gear in the interests of safety. Whilst the water is open to youngsters anglers aged 15 or under should be supervised by an adult.

This lake is also reccomended for team building or school days, please contact us for details..
