About Beanhill Lake

The lake itself is stream fed and crystal clear, so spotting your target is the easy part. At approximately 2 acres in size and with depths ranging from less than a couple of feet, down to roughly 14 feet at the dam end of the lake, by staying mobile you can search every corner of the lake and have the chance to vary your tactics. At the shallower end of the lake there are two small islands and the water narrows considerably. This provides the opportunity to stalk a fish at close quarters, again giving points of interest and variation in the fishing.

The fishery is stocked with both rainbow and brown trout from Bibury trout farm in the Cotswolds. These fish are of exceptional quality both in their condition and in their strength when hooked. If you are lucky enough to hook into one of these hard fighting fish the thrill of watching the battle unfold in our crystal clear water really does take some beating. The lake stock is managed on a rolling basis with catch reports being filled out and the stock being added to as it is required. We do not see the point in needlessly adding fish to the lake and strive to run a balanced fishery which offers fit, healthy and immaculately conditioned trout.
