Fishing at Clovelly Lakes

Clovelly Lakes has five lakes on site, as you can see from the video above. It’s a mixed coarse and carp fishery with carp to 20lb and a good mix of sizes across the lakes. Coarse fishing is also good, with decent-sized tench and roach to target.

Some of the lodges have fishing pegs in front of them. These are situated on Maple Lake and Beech Lake. These are mixed coarse and carp lakes, with carp weighing up to 19.5lb.

NOTE: Some of the lodges do NOT have direct lake access, but you can fish the lakes on-site. Check the site map below before booking to ensure you get the lodge type you are looking for.

From my research, Clovelly Lakes looks like a great place to fish. From their social media accounts, you can see the fish stocks are well managed with regular health checks and winter netting. They have a 6th lake on site, which does not have any lodges and is only available for full private bookings.
