Why did you reintroduce the 4 hour ticket ?

We listened to Anglers who had voiced a suggestion that could benefit those Anglers who do not have the time or perhaps strength to fish a full day.

As such we are pleased to announce we have created ​two four hour catch & release sessions here at the fishery.
08:00 - 12:00
13:00 ​- 17:00

We have also introduced our popular loyalty card which gives anglers a free day on us when filled - fill 5 days get your 6th free. Rewarding our loyal customers is paramount to us ! This runs from April - October.

We have introduced our Evening ticket from 5pm - Close for only £15 - April - September.

Why Do You Close Mondays & Thursdays ?

We are closed to the Public on a Monday as this is a dedicated day for Members alone.

We are closed on Thursdays to all Anglers to rest the lake as this makes for improved Angling.

Why no bait fishing ?

We do not offer Bait Angling at Hillside Trout Fishery for a few reasons.

🔹 Bait Anglers Behaviour in the Past ruining it for themselves.

🔹 The Price of Live trout vs the price of a kill ticket.

🔹 We stock Rainbows from 1.5lb - 26lb in weight including Triploid Brown Trout. Bait Angling would decimate our stock levels.

🔹 We are a catch & release fishery therefore are unsuitable for bait angling. 

What fish is in the lake ?

We currently Stock Rainbow Trout - there is 3 varieties of this strain within the lake.

We currently stock Triploid Brown Trout.

We have 1 Koi Carp - Goldie our Mascot.

We have 20 1 year old Grass Carp to help with lake maintenance.

Why Do We Not Allow Alcohol

As a Family Orientated Fishery - We do not allow Alcohol to be consumed on our premises

Anyone caught Consuming Alcohol will be asked to leave immediately.

Thank You for understanding.
