Fishing

Angling on the Nethermoor Lake, Northern Lake and River Rother

The lakes and river at Rother Valley contain good stocks of Roach, Rudd, Bream, Carp and Perch.

Fishing permits are available to all anglers in possession of a current Environment Agency rod licence. 
Areas you can undertake coarse angling at the park are;

Nethermoor Lake

Northern Lake (in designated areas) 

On the River Rother Banks, downstream of the regulator bridge, please ask our staff if you are unsure where this is.

Northern Lake is used by the Sheffield Jet Ski Club and on Sundays Newfoundland Dog Club, the area where you are permitted to fish is not affected by these two users. Occasionally events will be held on this lake and fishing will not be permitted until the event has finished.
