Fishery Information

WE BELIEVE THIS IS NO LONGER A FISHERY AND ISN’T OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

Welham Lake is located in close proximity to Great Bowden and Market Harborough in the county of Leicestershire. It is a stunning lake of 5.5 acres fed by springs and surrounded by 18 acres of forest. It is not known for having the largest fish, but rather for the atmosphere and the experience that it provides.

The lake has 12 bookable pegs, excellent facilities, and services, and it is ranked as one of the best day ticket lakes in the country. It also offers exclusivity while fishing and the swims have been placed with tranquility in mind. The lake has been heavily stocked with fish, but fishing in it is by no means simple.

There is a wide variety of coarse fish in there, including bream, carp, pike, roach, the occasional eel, and tench, and the fish tend to show themselves off quite often.

What size do the fish go to?

Carp to 26lb+, Tench to 10lb+ and the rare eel to 4lb+

What tactics work well?

Fishing tactics that work well on this site are not provided but you can use general coarse fishing tactics. You have to remember that fishing in the lake is not very easy. Use Barbless or Micro-barbed Hooks only, and minimum 10lb mainline. Pole fishing is not allowed.
