Wyreside Fisheries - The North West's Premier Carp & Catfish Fishery based in Lancashire

The proposed development of additional lakes has changed for a number of reasons. We have had to obtain approval of the Environment Agency, carry out a detailed Flood Risk Assessment and a Habitat Risk Assessment which are all in hand . Planning Permission is going before Wyre Borough Council and this will be for 2 additional lakes.

These will compromise a 3 acre Match Lake, a 5 acre Specimen Carp and catfish lake with 18 pegs (we already have stocks of 20 - 35 lb carp and catfcish in our holding lakes) This lake is being designed with many features both under water, on the islands and round the margins. The 18 pegs will all be larger than the pegs on the existing lake and further apart giving better swims. All pegs will have drinking and electricity points.

There will also be additional parking and recreation areas with caravan hook up points.

Our Current Lake

Wyreside Fisheries is a 4.5. acre lake, situated alongside the River Wyre, 15 minutes from the M6, from Preston and from Lancaster as well as being just 15 minutes from Blackpool.  The lake is well matured, set in a peaceful location with abundant wildlife.

Fifteen purpose built swims have been created with ample room for bivvys and rods and every swim has features to fish to, be that island, reeds, lilies, overhanging trees etc.  Stone and gravel areas have been introduced to the lake and weed growth is now strictly controlled.

Fishing is by day ticket with set rates for up to 12, 24 and 48 hours.  Fishing for longer periods is at a cheaper rate and discount is available if 3 or more pegs are pre-booked and paid for by one payment.  Rates are available from the Fishery Office on 01995 679695.  Specific Pegs may be pre-booked if paid for in full by cash or credit card.

The Fish

Approximately 250 specimen carp reside in the lake weighting up to 36lbs in weight with an excellent head of good doubles and twenties.  The lake boasts all different types of Carp: Common, Mirror, Leather, Ghosties, Koi, Grass and all of these go into double figure weights.  As well as Carp, the lake also holds several Catfish the biggest recorded specimen so far was a fish of 44lbs.

We are always looking to purchase large carp and cat fish for re stocking.
