Angling at Bessy Beck

The fishery has angling for all abilities with easy and safe access.

The Island Lake provides a challenge for the experienced fly fisherman, with trout stocked from 2lb to 15lb it is the only lake where catch and release is allowed.

The Mallard lake is another Fly Fishing Lake where all fish caught must be killed, these cooperative 1.5lb fish make it the ideal lake for newcomers to fly fishing or for those who wish to take a few home for the pot.

The Heron Lake is for families, children and those who dont want to fly fish. You can hire tackle and bait and catch a number of pan sized rainbow trout.
