Our Fishing Rules

We care about the welfare of our fish

We pride ourselves on the welfare and sustainability of Clawford Lakes’ fish as well as the wildlife and birdlife that share our beautiful 98-acre estate. That’s why we only allow our guests to fish in our lakes and we also ask you to please abide by our fishing rules (They are only sensible anyway!). Clawford Lakes fishing passes must be purchased (when making your booking online or at The Tackle Shop & Reception) by everyone aged 12 and over.

Fishing on our lakes also requires all persons over 13 years to have an Environment Agency rod license which can be obtained from any Post Office or by visiting https://www.gov.uk/fishing-licences

Please note that during late May and early June, selected swims or lakes may be temporarily closed to angling to protect carp during their natural spawning period. These short term closures are an important part of responsible fishery management, helping to safeguard fish welfare and maintain healthy stock levels across the resort. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to care for our lakes and wildlife for future generations to enjoy.
