Mayfly Lake was established over twenty years ago, and holds a variety of species including 20lb-plus carp, big tench and big bream. Fishing near the margins is best, either with a pole or rod, using a ledger or float. Our park shop has a variety of fishing tackle, accessories and bait for sale.

Our fish are kept in good condition and health, due to residents following our fishing lake conditions. These include using a professional knotless landing net, padded un-hooking mat, barbless hooks and disgorger. Keepnets are not permitted.
