Alderfen Fishery

Description

Alderfen is managed by anglers for anglers, and each of the lakes was dug to our specifications. From its inception Alderfen has been created to provide a venue superior to any other coarse fishery, whether you are a Matchman, Specimen Hunter or a Pleasure Angler who just goes fishing once in a while.

There are 4 lakes set in a 23 acre nature conservation area with a hard standing access road. Car parking areas are provided by each lake. There are toilet facilities on site. The swims are clean, well-spaced and comfortable. The peace and tranquillity of the surroundings is guaranteed, catching the fish is down to you!

Match lake swims 25 to 30 are most suitable for the disabled angler as the track and swims are level and close to the car park.

There is a healthy stock of Pike to over 20lbs in the Carp Lake, Pike angling is permitted from 1st. October to last day  of March.Only dead-baiting is allowed, no lures or live baits. Sea dead baits only! All anglers must use a wire trace, barbless trebles and have a unhooking mat and unhooking tools. All fish must be returned to the water ASAP.

Few anglers have as yet fished for these Pike, so if you would like to catch an uncaught lunker get your dead-baits out. Maximum of 3 rods, price is £7.50 per day. All rods in same swim please!
