Fishing at Highfields

Lovely wide & flat swims

We have 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.

12lb Mirror Carp

A marginal shelf has been built into each lake and is home to a variety of aquatic plants, rushes and insects. 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 available to fish (Alder) is in the open meadows leading up to Reception.

Rowan Lake has been stocked with the light-tackle fisherman in mind. It holds over 850 beautiful Crucian Carp, hundreds of quality Tench and thousands of Silver fish too.
Alder Lake is our day-ticket fishing lake. Containing a similar stock of fish to Hawthorn Lake, both holiday-makers/home owners and the public are able to fish this water.

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.
