Multi-bait fisheries
Bait fishing for trout is great fun! All the family can come along and enjoy catching trout, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Why not make a day of it and bring a picnic along? Don’t forget children under 17 can fish free on their parent or guardian’s permit or why not try our great value family permit (terms and conditions apply). All in all, a great value family day out with the possibility of several trout for the barbecue!
Powerbait, ledgered or fished at various depths under a bubble float is a popular method, but the humble worm still seems to be the most consistent bait across our fisheries. Remember to only hook the worm on once, and fish at various depths until you get a bite.
Have you ever played quality trout on light tackle? During the quieter days, why not put the fly rod and bubble float away and try a match rod, 4lb line and a single maggot on a size 18 hook fished under a small quill or waggler? Just make sure that the clutch is set right to enjoy some exhilarating sport!!
