Highfield Fisheries first opened its doors to the public in July of 2003 and is set in rural Lancashire between Lancaster and Blackpool. At that time it consisted of 2 match/pleasure lakes and a specimen carp lake. The fishery operated in the same vain until the later part of 2006. It was then, reluctantly, decided to convert the specimen lake (Oak) into a match lake. Considerable planning went into the conversion and work commenced in the September of 2006. The lake has now been converted into a 42 peg match lake.
The fishery is managed by George Wilson who has had more than 20 years experience in the course/carp fishing industry and is always on hand when advice is required. He is fanatical about his job and the results of this is show when the fishery is visited. "Not just another fishery" means exactly that. They want all their visitors to come back and try to provide an experience to ensure that they do so. Some may find their rules a little on the harsh side but their ultimate aim is the conservation of the fishery and the maintenance of a healthy fish stock.
Ash Lake is a match and pleasure lake which is 1.7 acres in size and has 25 pegs. The lake has two central islands which can be reached with the waggler and tip. Ash Lake is heavily stocked with tench, carp, bream, roach, perch and crucian carp. The lake is fishable either by Day Ticket or Match Booking.
Beech Lake is a 2.5 acre Match/Pleasure Lake, ideal for club bookings. It has 35 custom built pegs, all accessible from the path. The lake is heavily stocked with common and mirror carp to 4lb and has produced some prolific catches in excess of 100lbs. There are three islands running through the center of the lake which can be reached with a pole and the two bays are perfect for the waggler or tip. The lake is fishable either by Day Ticket or Match Booking.
Oak Lake is the jewel in the crown, converted from the specimen lake, it now has 42 spacious pegs. It is 4 acres in size and is well stocked with carp, ide, barbel, skimmer bream, roach and chub. F1 carp have also been introduced into the lake, making it ideal for all year round fishing. All pegs can be fished using pole and the majority by waggler or tip.
