Kilnsey Park Fly Fishery is situated in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The two spring fed lakes are both approximately 1 acre in size and are open all year round, fishing well throughout the winter. The lakes are well stocked with hard fighting Rainbow, Blue, Brown and Golden trout from 2lb to 20lb+, all grown to the highest standards in the pristine waters of our own Trout Farm. We host fishing courses and events throughout the year and are a TROUTMASTER water.
We have plenty of car parking, along with an on-site cafe, shop and toilets which are adjacent to the lake, with lakeside fishing access for all abilities.
During summer the fishing lakes are open every day from 7am to 5pm (during August the Evening Rise ticket runs to 7pm). Over winter (November to March) the lakes are open from 7.30am during daylight hours, but they are closed on Mondays.
