D'Arcy Hildyard Lakes

There are two lakes.  They have been stocked with rainbow trout in the past. It is not known what species exist in the lakes at present. Before stocking we need to assess what species are already there and get an idea of numbers.


Before fishing the lakes you contact Pat Bush:  pat.bush0201@btinternet.com 

members only - no day permit holders

Fly & Coarse Fishing

You must book a ticket if you wish to fish the lakes.  


Species

There are fish in the lakes. Some fish have been caught already and fish have been seen rising. 


Method. 

Any method of fly or coarse fishing.  No lures (except artificial fly) or spinning. 


All fish to be returned unharmed.


No night fishing!


Access


To get to the lakes you can follow the directions below or you can walk in from Easby or St Giles Farm. Alternatively walk over the Bailey Bridge from the north bank or park at Broken Brae and wade across. The latter should only be attempted in low water conditions and is entirely at your own risk.

A catch return form has been set up for the lakes. You must submit a return after you have been fishing even if you blank.
