Fly Fishing Rules: Damsel Lake

The Damsel Lake is open for fly fishing only between 1 October and 30 June. During these months it is stocked regularly. Records can be  viewed in the Tackle Barn, please ask or see the summary board at the entrance.

Fly fishing can still be carried out between 1 June and 30 September on a reduced price ticket. During these months you are more likely to land a carp, bream or perch on the fly, all of which give excellent sport during the warmer months when fly fishing for trout is notoriously hard.
