Roundhay Park Lake

Facilities

Roundhay Park Lake in West Yorkshire is managed by Leeds DASA and situated within the expansive Roundhay Park, one of Leeds' largest public parks. Visitors can access disabled-friendly pegs near the onsite café, which also offers refreshments and toilet facilities. Day tickets are available for those looking to enjoy a day of fishing without the need for membership.

Fish Species

The lake is home to a variety of fish species, including bream that can reach up to 7 lb, carp and pike both growing up to 20 lb, as well as roach, tench, perch, and chub. Anglers can often find sizeable shoals of bream and roach, providing ample opportunities for a rewarding fishing experience.

Visitor Information

While Roundhay Park Lake offers a pleasant fishing environment, anglers should be aware of the high foot traffic from park visitors and their dogs, especially near the café pegs. Weekends and school holidays can be particularly busy, which might disrupt the peace for those seeking a quiet day by the water. Additionally, fishing towards dusk is recommended to be done with a companion due to occasional tackle thefts.
