The Fishery is a complex of four spring fed fly fishing lakes totalling some 15 acres of water, highly stocked with top quality Rainbows from 2-15lbs, with the occasional Brown. The lakes range in size from 1 acre to 5 acres and are well established, supporting prolific natural aquatic life with the result that the fishing ranges from challenging, requiring the anglers to think and choose their methods, to extremely productive with most success being achieved by considering the weather conditions, and using appropriate imitative patterns.

Our lakeside pavilion with its members bar, restaurant, comfortable lounges, log fires and waterside verandas is available to patrons of Halliford Mere Lakes, for a welcome rest from the day's sport.

Although we are primarily a catch and release fishery, fish may be taken at a cost of £6.00 per fish (Rainbows only), with a maximum of 2. Please remember to use barbless or de-barbed hooks only, respect your quarry and handle them with care. Try to unhook fish in the water, but if this is not psosible, briefly use a knotless net, unhook them quickly (with wet hands) and return them immediately. Never delay their return by taking photos, etc.
