Our 5-acre Hobby Lake aims to offer something a little bit different!

Hobby Lake is named after the bird species which used to frequent the area in numbers and, like its larger sister, this lake is also spring-fed with crystal clear water clarity and depths from 3 to 15ft.

Available for private hire for parties of 2 to 10 anglers, it’s a perfect venue to share with friends and family, or on which to stage small corporate events with colleagues or clients.

Hobby Lake Highlights

• Spring fed, crystal clear and with abundant fly life, it offers superb floating line fishing with nymphs or dry fly.
• Stocked with fin-perfect rainbow, blue, brown, golden, sparctic and tiger trout well into double figures.
• Always rested between bookings, to ensure you have every chance of a red letter day.
• Price includes exclusive use of Hobby Lake, Hobby Lodge and BBQ facilities.
• We supply all you need for a perfect day’s trout fishing, just bring your own food, drink – and friends!

All fish must be taken up to the party limit, catch and release on Haywards Farm Lake thereafter.
