Fisheries near Lydney
Lydney
Lydney Canal
Lydney Canal
Lydney · 2 lakes on site
Lydney Canal is a roughly one-mile coarse-fishing venue running from the River Severn into Lydney. It’s controlled by Lydney & District Angling Club, with pleasure, match and specimen fishing all advertised.
73%Bishopswood Fishery
Ross-on-Wye · 2 lakes on site
Bishopswood Fishery is a cracking River Wye venue near Ross-on-Wye, with roughly 1.5 miles of Upper and Lower Bishopswood water. It is a proper river job rather than a stocked lake complex, with day-ticket access on the lower stretch and tighter membership rules upstream.
Harescombe
Harescombe Fisheries
Harescombe Fisheries
Harescombe · 5 lakes on site
Harescombe Fisheries has five stocked lakes across the main Harescombe site and the separate Naas Lane fishery. There’s a useful mix of carp, tench, bream and silver-fish fishing, with day tickets from £7.50 and a café on the bank.
76%River Wye
Ross-on-Wye · 1 lakes on site
Ross-on-Wye Angling Club’s Town Water is a cracking just-over-mile stretch of the River Wye, with day-ticket coarse fishing for a proper mix of river species. The club highlights larger barbel and pike, with Riverside Park access and a £10 bank-side day ticket.
66%Gloucester and Sharpness Canal
Gloucester · 1 lakes on site
Proper canal fishing rather than a lake complex, with bream, roach and predators all in the mix. The Gloucester Canal Season Ticket covers towpath coarse fishing from Monk Meadow to the former railway bridge at Purton Lower—not the whole canal.
