Fishing at Yeatheridge Farm is a tranquil affair, with two lovely lakes to escape to.
The top lake is well stocked and perfectly suited to beginners and pleasure fishers. It is stocked with a mixture of Carp, Crucians, Tench, Rudd and Bream, averaging 2lb – 4lb up to approximately 5lb.
The bottom lake is a more challenging lake, stocked with tench and carp. It was stocked in 2022 with carp and tench from the top lake, which would be around 3 – 6lb now, and we added 21 carp in January 2023 which averaged 12.8lb, with the largest topping the scales at 15.9lb.
We hope you enjoy your time fishing at Yeatheridge. The following rules apply to both lakes, with some additional rules for the bottom lake as well:
