There are several places within the borough where fishing is permitted. Before planning a fishing trip here is some useful information:
There are 2 different types of fishery in the borough, membership only lakes and day ticket fisheries.
Here is a list of the places where fishing is permitted on a day ticket basis and contact details for enquiries.
Tom Thumb Lake - Eastbrookend Country Park|
This 0.7 hectare day-ticket fishery officially re-opened in July 2008 and is the first of its kind in the borough to offer fully accessible angling opportunities for novice and young fisherman.
The lake has had facilities put in place to make it easier for young people and people with disabilities to use the site. The lake has benefited from a new path, fishing platforms and aquatic planting.
It has been stocked with a variety of fish including Crucian Carp, Tench and Rudd. Reeds and lilies have also been planted to provide spawning areas for fish, with floating reed islands providing protection from birds visiting the lake.
Tickets are issued on bank by a bailiff at a cost of £4 per rod (no concessions).
