About Fishing Lakes UK

Fishing Lakes UK is an independent directory created to help anglers discover fishing lakes, day ticket waters, carp venues and coarse fisheries across the UK.

Helping anglers find places to fish

Finding reliable information about fishing venues can involve searching across fishery websites, angling club pages, social media accounts and mapping services. Fishing Lakes UK brings useful venue information together in one searchable directory.

The site includes individual lake listings, county and regional directories, specialist searches and practical fishing guides. The aim is to help anglers create a shortlist of suitable venues and then confirm the latest details directly with the fishery.

What the directory includes

  • Fishing lakes organised by UK region and county
  • Day ticket, coarse, carp, trout and mixed fishing venues
  • Known fish species, facilities and access information where available
  • Official fishery websites, social pages and contact details
  • Map links and location information to help plan a visit
  • Guides covering licences, day tickets, preparation and venue searches

How venue information is researched

Listings are compiled using publicly available sources such as official fishery websites, angling club websites, official social media pages, mapping information and details submitted by venue owners or visitors.

Where possible, official sources are preferred over third-party directory entries. Information from different sources may be compared before a listing is added or updated. We do not claim to have personally visited every venue listed on the site.

Accuracy and updates

Fishing venues regularly change their prices, rules, opening hours, booking arrangements, facilities and available waters. A venue may also close temporarily or permanently without notice.

We aim to keep the directory useful and accurate, but visitors should always confirm important details through the official fishery website, social page or contact number before travelling.

Corrections and venue submissions

Venue owners, angling clubs and visitors are welcome to report incorrect or outdated information. Helpful corrections include the venue name, the page concerned, the detail that needs changing and a current official source where possible.

You can report a correction or use the Add a Lake form to suggest a missing venue.

Independent listings

Advertising, affiliate relationships or other commercial arrangements do not determine whether a venue is included in the directory. Sponsored or commercial content will be identified where appropriate.

For more information about how content is selected and maintained, read our Editorial Policy.

Before travelling

Always check current fishery rules, ticket availability, opening times, access arrangements, permitted methods and rod licence requirements before setting off.
