Going fishing? We're proud to manage eight fisheries around the country that offer something for all types of anglers. Find out more about each venue, and how to book a match or buy a season permit.
Day ticket fishing is available at all of our waters except for Terry's Pool at Earlswood Lakes, which is season permit only. Match fishing and season permits are also available at some of our commercial fisheries.
Match fishing
Match fishing is available at Blythe Waters, Boddington Reservoir, Clattercote Reservoir, Earlswood Lakes and Kiveton Waters. You can book a match up to 24 months in advance.
You can book online by signing in to your account with us, or registering for a new account if you've not set one up before. Once signed in, you will see the ‘Match bookings' section and the option to ‘Book a match at a fishery'.
If you have any problems making your online booking, you can contact us by phone or email.
Booking more than 6 matches
There is a 50% booking fee discount when booking six or more matches at a time. For example, booking 10 matches individually would result in a fee of £60, whereas booking them in one go would result in a discounted fee of £30.
Season permits
Season permits are available at Blythe Waters, Earlswood Lakes – Engine and Windmill Pools, Earlswood Lakes – Terry's Pool, Kiveton Waters and Naseby Reservoir.
You can buy your permit online by signing in to your account with us, or registering for a new account if you've not set one up before. Once signed in, you will see the ‘Fishing permits' section and the option to ‘Buy a fishery season permit'.
