How to fish here
We haven't found verified local tips for this water yet, so what's below is general practical advice for the fish listed — not reports from here.
Target species
Rigs & methods
- General technique — not verified here
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
How to set it up
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
Typical kit: Boilies: 15mm boilies · Hook: wide gape size 6–8 · Hooklink: coated braid or fluoro · Main line: 15lb mono. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Bait to consider
- Boilies or wafters
- Pellet
- Sweetcorn or tiger nuts (only where nuts are allowed)
- Bread on the surface in warm weather
Common starting baits, not a local "top bait". Bait bans override everything here.
When it suits
Usually most active late spring to autumn; slower in deep winter. Warm, settled spells often see fish higher in the water.
General seasonal pattern, not a forecast.
Check the rules
No method or bait rules published that we've checked. Always confirm on the day.
Rigs & methods
- General technique — not verified here
Big hookbaits after dark for the cats
Catfish come out at night and like strong smells. A big halibut pellet or fish-based bait over a small bed of pellet is the usual approach.
How to set it up
- Fish strong — 20lb+ line and a big strong hook.
- Use an unhooking mat and a big net; cats are long and heavy.
- Check the venue's rules on cat tackle before you set up.
Typical kit: Main line: 20lb mono. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Bait to consider
- Large halibut pellet
- Fish-based hookbaits
- Squid or worm bunches (where allowed)

The full rundown on Lakemore Fisheries
Here's the useful stuff for Lakemore Fisheries, as listed on the venue's own website when checked on 2026-10-21.
Not confirmed yet: How you get on (day ticket, booking or syndicate), Ticket prices, Venue rules. We'd rather leave a gap than guess, so check these with the fishery before you go.
We've also popped in a few extra bits listed in a fishing directory. They're in our own words, marked clearly and not confirmed by the venue, so treat them as a heads-up rather than gospel.
The details below are the venue's published information, not catch statistics or a ranking of baits. General starting methods are labelled separately; they aren't proof of what works best here.
Check the rod licence you need for your age, tackle and target fish in England. A venue ticket does not replace a rod licence. Check any local close season before fishing.
Before you load the car, confirm current opening, permission, ticket availability and any restrictions with the rights holder.

Lakemore Fisheries FAQs
What should I check before travelling?
Confirm current permission, opening, tickets and the venue rules with the rights holder.

How to fish Long Lake
We haven't found verified local tips for this water yet, so what's below is general practical advice for the fish listed — not reports from here.
Target species
Rigs & methods
- General technique — not verified here
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
How to set it up
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
Typical kit: Boilies: 15mm boilies · Hook: wide gape size 6–8 · Hooklink: coated braid or fluoro · Main line: 15lb mono. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Bait to consider
- Boilies or wafters
- Pellet
- Sweetcorn or tiger nuts (only where nuts are allowed)
- Bread on the surface in warm weather
Common starting baits, not a local "top bait". Bait bans override everything here.
When it suits
Usually most active late spring to autumn; slower in deep winter. Warm, settled spells often see fish higher in the water.

Big hookbaits after dark for the cats
Catfish come out at night and like strong smells. A big halibut pellet or fish-based bait over a small bed of pellet is the usual approach.
How to set it up
- Fish strong — 20lb+ line and a big strong hook.
- Use an unhooking mat and a big net; cats are long and heavy.
- Check the venue's rules on cat tackle before you set up.
Typical kit: Main line: 20lb mono. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Bait to consider
- Large halibut pellet
- Fish-based hookbaits
- Squid or worm bunches (where allowed)

- Start with 8–10 feeders quickly, then recast every 5 minutes.
- Worm, maggot or corn on a size 14–16.
Typical kit: Feeder line: 6lb mono. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Bait to consider
- Groundbait with casters/chopped worm
- Maggot
- Worm
- Small pellet or corn
