The QEII has a lot of big fish to fuel those “fishy tales..." Although popular with the more “energetic” watersports users like windsurfers, the QEII is big enough for everyone, and sharing is not a problem.
It might need a bit of a walk, but it’s always possible to find a quiet corner - it’s impressive that even though the water is very close to Ashington, it is easy to feel as though you’ve got the whole water to yourself. It’s a great place to get away from the hustle of busy town life, bringing as it does, a piece of the countryside into a largely urban/industrial setting.
And it’s definitely the place to catch a lot of big fish - carp, bream, pike, roach, rudd, tench and perch all abound. It’s a great big aquarium, really! That said, the size - 40 acres - makes it a challenge too, but as with most things in life, the things that are really worthwhile are also worth a bit putting a bit of effort into.
