Fishing from Badgers Harbour

Private water, but not an easy lake

for patient anglers

Badgers Harbour gives you direct fishing access from your own private peg, but Cleveleymere is a natural, low-pressure lake — not a runs water.

Fishing from Badgers Harbour is in shallow waters. The carp and other fish are not used to heavy angling pressure, so fishing here can be rewarding but challenging. We would rather be clear before you book: this is best suited to patient anglers who enjoy figuring out a natural water.

What to expect

Private fishing is included for lodge-staying guests, with Badgers Harbour set in shallower water. Catches are never guaranteed. The lake has carp, roach, bream, perch, tench, chub and other silverfish, with natural features, weed, wildlife and changing conditions all part of the challenge.

For the full picture — including what makes the lake difficult — read the dedicated fishing page before booking a fishing-focused stay.
