Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Ground Bait not allowed?
In previous years we have had a problem with oxygen levels in our lake and since implementing the No Ground Bait rule we have managed to keep the lake in a good condition. We understand that it may only be a minority that use ground bait to excess, but due to this we have had to make this a gereral rule for everyone fishing.

Where can I buy a fishing ticket?
If you are stayin on our site, day fishing tickets can be purchased from the main reception of Homestead Caravans and Outdoor Leisure during office hours.

Do you do daily fishing?
No, unfortunately we no longer allow daily tickets if you are not staying on site. We have a limited number of annual fishing passes, please call or email us on lakepark@homesteadcaravans.co.uk for availability and prices.
