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 day fishing ticket?
Day Fishing tickets can be purchased from the main reception of Homestead Caravans and Outdoor Leisure during office hours.
