IMPORTANT: The pike fishing season is STRICTLY limited to 1st October to 31st March; outside this period, ie April to September, we do not allow anyone to catch pike and therefore use of spinners is not permitted during this period.

The fishery opening hours are strictly 6.30 to dusk and no-one is allowed entry prior to 6.30am.

From 1/10/2024: All spinners/lures to be barbless including trebles (spinners/lures only). All anglers spinning/using lures for pike/perch must use a long enough wire trace (no exceptions). No braided main line to be used. All anglers must have a large landing net, large unhooking mat, long-handled forceps and side cutters. All rules relating to dead baiting remain as before.  No barbed or micro-barbed hooks, baiting poles or spoons to be used. Anyone found using them will be asked to leave and not given a refund.

Pike anglers: two single barbless hooks for dead bait allowed.

Please note that the Twig rig, by OMC is strictly banned for use here at Shillinglee. Any angler found to be in breach of this rule will be asked to leave immediately, no refund. Thank you.

These rulings will be enforced by our Bailiff Andy as he walks around the lake.

Please check all our rules before fishing. Like most fisheries we do rig checks and anyone found breaking the rules will be banned for life.

Due to our costs having increased significantly over the past few years, we have amended our day ticket fees to: £20 adult day ticket, £15 after 4pm; £15 junior day ticket, £10 after 4pm. This fee increase will be applied from 1st January 2024.
