Fishing at Highfields

At Highfields, we pride ourselves in offering excellent fishing in well-stocked yet well-balanced lakes. Great care has been taken to ensure that our lakes are not over-stocked to the detriment of the fish.

We recognise that the quality, good condition and health of the fish stock is paramount and so emphasis has been placed on creating a natural, rich environment for all of the lakes’ inhabitants. Stocking levels have been carefully calculated to maintain a natural ecological balance. A mix of Carp & Coarse fish ranging in size have been introduced along with the all-important invertebrates, micro-organisms and plant life essential for the successful development of the lakes.

There are three lakes in total, all approximately one acre in size and all benefiting from attractively planted islands. Dug into the natural clay bed and designed with the pleasure angler in mind, they are all nicely shaped with several promontories and bays to fish from. Anglers have the option of fishing the narrower channel swims up to the islands and also larger areas of open water.

A marginal shelf has been built into each lake and is home to a variety of aquatic plants and rushes. The shelf slopes gently away to the lake bed which has been contoured and sculptured to different depths to provide interesting features for both fish and angler.

Two of our lakes (Hawthorn & Rowan) are positioned within the Holiday Caravan/Log Cabin development and are exclusive to Holiday Home Owners (and Holiday-Makers). The third lake (Alder) is near the front of the site in the open meadows leading up to Reception and is also open to the public on a pre-booking basis.

• Hawthorn Lake contains a good head of Carp (Common & Mirror) and mixed Silver Fish including Roach, Bream, Perch & Hybrids. The majority of the Carp currently weigh 1-2lb and there are several larger fish in the region of 5-10lb present as well.
• Rowan Lake has been stocked with the children and the light-tackle fisherman in mind. It holds over 850 beautiful Crucian Carp, a really good head of young Tench and thousands of Silver fish too.
• Alder Lake contains a similar stock of fish to Rowan Lake, both holiday-makers/home owners and the public are able to fish this water. A pre-booking system is utilised to ensure customers are guaranteed a swim on the day they wish to fish.

The lakes at Highfields are perfect for both the rod and pole angler, the beginner and expert. Few holiday parks have fishing as the main attraction, especially in such relaxing, quiet and natural surroundings. Fishing at Highfields is the perfect way to unwind.
