Monster Mash (Spring)

On just two days of the year, the rule that prohibits fishermen from fishing in the vicinity of the fish cages is suspended for Monster Mash…

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to cast your line in the exclusion zone surrounding the fish farm where the aim is to catch some of the monster fish that lurk around the cages in the middle of the lake.

In past years, truly huge fish have been caught at a Monster Mash. Don’t miss out!

Sunday 26 April 2025, 9.00am – 3.00pm

£75 per angler

Two anglers per boat. Four-catch limit per angler. Single de-barb flies only.

Tagged Fish Competition

Find a tag and hook yourself free boat hire for the day.

We’ve changed the rules of the Tagged Fish Competition in 2026. Instead of entering everyone into a draw at the end of the year, we’re making it easier to win by offering a spot prize of day’s boat hire for every tag brought to the visitor centre for verification.

If you don’t use boats, you can gift your tag and the boat hire to a friend that does.

It’s absolutely FREE to enter!
