| Description: All anglers should be aware that Ratherheath as undergone major work and investment in 2019. The lake is now fully otter protected and has seen significant improvements to its access. There are now 6 disabled access pegs, with a level access path from the private car park. There have also been upgrades to the existing pegs, along with extensive weed management projects.
Ratherheath Tarn has been WADAA's most popular coarse water and holds good stocks of carp, roach, bream, tench and perch. The roach and bream fishing can be superb with plenty of skimmers and larger bream in the 5lb - 7lb range. The roach average around 8oz although better fish are present. Tench are generally on the smaller side, but fish around the 4lbs mark are beginning to turn up in increasing numbers. |
