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.
