Trout Fishing at Lower Moor in North Wiltshire
The Mallard Flyfishers syndicate leases the private fishing rights on Mallard Lake from the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. The lake is located on the Lower Moor nature reserve which is near Oaksey in North Wiltshire.
Mallard Lake is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) because of rare water plants, including Chara, which grow on the lake bed. This 22 acre lake has always been known for the quality of its beautifully clear and alkaline water. Its reputation for providing an excellent environment for superb trout fly fishing goes back to the mid-1970s. The banks of this lake and its five islands provide an exceptional environment for flora and fauna which abound on the site.
Fishing for syndicate members and their guests is available from the south and east banks, or from either of two fishing boats which are kept on the lake.
Our trout fishing season starts on 31st March 2012. Guests may be invited to the fishery from 1st May. The last day of the season will be 1st January 2013.
Mallard Lake is not a day ticket fishery. Only members and their guests are permitted to fish. Anybody interested in joining as a new member should complete the Contact Form (see above in brown bar) to have their name added to the waiting-list.
