Coarse Fishing is available to just fifty season permit holders between 16 June and 14 March on this private lake set in parkland landscaped by Capability Brown. Twenty four fishing stages are sited in tranquil and scenic locations around the Lake for fishermen to enjoy both the sport and the beautiful environment. A fisherman’s code of conduct is in place, ensuring not only the quality of the Lake and the fishing it provides, but also the surrounding area promoting a diversity of flora, fauna, and waterlife. The Lake itself is stocked with Pike, Bream, Roach, Tench, Golden Rudd and Perch. All fish must be returned to the water.
Fishing is only conducted within the hours of sunrise to sunset. The Lake is not to be netted and regrettably no guests are allowed to accompany permit holders.
Fishing is by season ticket only and charges and an application form are available from the Estate Office.

Trout Fishing is available to a limited members syndicate between April and October on the stunning Calstone Lake, a reservoir of the River Marden. The Lake is stocked with Rainbow Trout and there is an occasional introduction of Brown Trout. Re-stocking takes place as necessary during the season until mid-September.
Fishing can take place on any day during the season between dawn and dusk. There is a weekly bag limit of two brace. Dry fly, wet fly or nymph may be used on the lake with one fly on the case and no hook size to be over 10, except for Damsel-fly or Mayfly Nymph, when long shank hooks may be used. No lures are permitted.
Members’ guests are welcome on four days of the season, having given prior notice to the Syndicate Manager, who approves at his discretion. Guests’ catches must be included within the members weekly bag limit. Rods are not transferable and no guest may fish unless accompanied by a syndicate member. National Rivers Authority Licences are required.
Fishing policy: All browns to be carefully returned. No catch and return of Rainbows after 15th September. The first two Rainbows must be taken on each visit to the lake. Wading is not allowed.
