Description

We offer day tickets for fly fishing only. Our prices for this Season will remain at £14 for a day ticket and £7 for Junior and evening tickets. A maximum of four fish can be killed on a day ticket and two on evening and juniors. Catch and release is permitted at any time.

The lake is spring fed from the underlying limestone aquifer thus ensuring excellent water quality and clarity and creating perfect conditions for the natural insect and fly life that is the hallmark of a quality fishery.

Situated a mile to the west of the picturesque village of West Tanfield, three miles from the A1 the Lake has earned a reputation for quality fish, clear water and beautiful surroundings.

Tanfield Lodge Lake boasts a huge variety of wildlife, from the signal crayfish in its depths to the visiting ospreys on their migratory journeys. A profusion of wild flowers adorn the surrounding area violets, cowslips and three different orchids amongst them, making this a mecca for nature lovers.

The Lake is stocked principally with rainbow trout up to 3lbs, with an annual stocking of fingerling brown trout to grow on, clients are encouraged to return brown trout as we can guarantee you will enjoy the fight they give you if you are skilful enough to hook them as 7lb beauties.
