© 2008 7 Lakes Country Park

The Fishing At 7 Lakes Country Park can only be described as outstanding.  The gin clear waters of in the main fishing lakes of Clearwater, The Everglades, Pumphouse, Fir Tree and Little Lake hold many species of fish for you to enjoy catching. Carp, Tench, Perch, Roach, Rudd, Ide, Pike and even Catfish are present.

We are constantly monitoring the waters to ensure the fish are fit and healthy. Fishing Stations are in place to dip nets and familiarise anglers with the rules. Designated yellow bins are provided for waste bait and line. Pegs are being constantly improved to ensure your fishing experience is a pleasant one.

Although fish stocks are introduced from time to time we feel it is better to make sure the fish breed and increase in numbers naturally making angling for wild fish the norm rather than the ‘a fish a cast’ syndrome that has become so popular over the last few years.

This is not a day ticket fishery where the fish are pressured and are subject to large amounts of non-natural food being introduced. They live in natural surroundings and thrive on the ecological balance the park is lucky to enjoy. Our fishing rules reflect this.

Our Senior Ranger is dedicated to looking after the 7 Lakes Country Park wildlife and fishing to ensure this unique facility stays the way we want it........natural as nature intended.

It is, we feel, of the greatest importance to maintain the natural ecological balance within the park and provide the the wildlife and fish the chance to flourish.  

The choice of fishing at 7 Lakes Country Park is vast. The Clearwater lake is over 40 acres and holds many freshwater species including Carp to 38lb and Pike to 28lb. On Clearwater you can go windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing in the mornings and evenings while Jet Skis use the lake in the afternoon. This gives our owners plenty of peace and quiet in the evening or early morning. Down past The Willows is the Fir Trees lake, ideal for youngsters to practice their angling skills.

Riverside is around the corner and the coarse and match angler will fall in love with Riverside and catch Carp, Pike, Eels, Tench, Rudd, Perch and Roach. The lake is 6ft to 8ft in depth and anglers have enjoyed catches up to 100lb in a session this year. Fishing pegs are available around west shore of the lake.

Off the beaten track, behind the Riverside section, you can find Everglades Carp Lake. For serious carp anglers the pegs and stalking areas around this lake have to be seen to be appreciated. The Everglades Carp record is 32lb 10oz. The Lake is set within mature woodlands, and has 11 islands and a number of sunken bars, roughly 6ft to 12ft in depth.

Opening up for 2008 is the Little Lake over the footbridge from Clearwater. This will provide yet another coarse anglers haven to stalk his prey. The lake is shallow but is home to many reeds and overgrown bushes around the pegs.  

Plans are in place to hold competitions, family fishing days and masterclass courses for our clients.  We are confident that you as an angler will benefit from owning a caravan at this spectacular fishing venue.
