At Tattershall Lakes holiday park, situated in the heart of Lincolnshire, we have well stocked fishing lakes that can cater for any level of angler, and with plenty of friendly anglers on hand to offer advice you can be sure of an excellent experience.
Merlin Point has two smaller lakes ideal for less serious anglers looking for fun.
This is our largest lake with a lake depth of 5-7 feet and stretches over 15 acres. It includes over 30 pegs.
Rudd Lake is a dedicated fishing lake with a depth of 4-7 feet and spread over 2 acres.
We have three different lakes for you to cast your line with many different species of fish including carp, tench, bream, pikes and more. We have pegs situated around our lakes and some of our accommodation even include their own private fishing peg!
You must have a fishing license and also obtain a fishing permit.
Fishing can be booked at guest services.
Please note: Your fishing permit does not include equipment, should you need to hire this – it can be done so at an extra cost. All anglers are required to possess a UK rod licence as the park is often inspected by enforcement officers. If you are new to fishing, more details can be found on the UK Government website.

We believe in regular up-keep in our lakes and in recent years we have introduced over £12k of fish into our lakes. These fish have provided good quality leisure fishing, for both guests and owners.
It is lawful for all anglers to hold a UK rod licence. The authorities carry out random checks at the park in effort to enforce this. All anglers are expected to pay for their fishing, there are no collective agreements where anglers aren’t expected to pay. All the lakes will have a presence of weed. This is a natural occurrence, although does provide a more challenging session for anglers. However, those anglers with some knowledge will be able to change their fishing styles and bait to amend each lake and session. The weed helps provide cover for fish, oxygenate the water and provides a natural habitat for the fish and other species of wildlife that habit the lake.
Fishing is dawn till dusk only (no night fishing) with 1 person per peg and maximum of 2 rods per peg. All fish must be returned and keepnets are not permitted. Only barbless hooks may be used and all baits must be used in moderation (nuts and pulses are banned).
Tattershall Lakes is not a commercial fishery and we respectfully advise that it is called “fishing” and not “catching”. Many of our fish will be in excellent condition. Some may never have been caught before and we feel make a far better experience to catch a good condition quality fi sh, but perhaps in smaller quantities. However, there are many conditions that affect the fish and if they are feeding or not. This is out of the parks control and we cannot give refunds on day tickets purchased.
Whilst you wait... just think about being in your swimmers, the sun's out and the smiles are big
