We now have three fishing lakes at Waterloo Farm Leisure. The most recent
addition was Wellington Lake which was opened in 2008. This popular
purpose-built match and pleasure fishing lake has 35 pegs and has direct vehicle
access with a parking space next to each individual peg - a real hit with the
anglers.
The second lake also opened in 2008 is a smaller 12 peg lake designed especially
for juniors and beginners, aged 5 and above, it provides the perfect environment
to learn to fish with good guidance . Fishing lessons can be also booked.
Our original Waterloo fishing lake has 37 well spaced pegs and is available for
pleasure anglers and club match bookings. This picturesque lake has a variety of
species including carp to 18lb, mirror, common and true crucian carp. As well as

had bags of 100lbs plus being caught.
