Thorpe-le-vale Trout Fishery
Key Information
Fishing Opportunities
Thorpe-le-vale Trout Fishery offers two distinct fly fishing experiences across its two lakes. The top lake remains open and is ideal for dry fly fishing, with fish freely rising on the surface wake. The second lake, sheltered by trees, provides a quieter retreat perfect for evening rises, though it demands skill to catch the smaller natural flies.
Wildlife and Conservation
The fishery is set in a beautiful area abundant with wildlife. The surrounding conservation areas make it a serene spot for nature enthusiasts. Facilities are basic, but the natural setting more than makes up for it, offering a peaceful environment to enjoy your fishing day.
Fishing Records and Stocking
Thorpe-le-vale Trout Fishery stocks Rainbow and Brown trout weekly, with fish averaging 1lb 4oz. The record catches stand at an 8lb Rainbow and a 5lb Brown. The back lake is harder to locate, so anglers should look for the painted fish sign just off the road.
