FISHING ON THE LAKES OF ROTHER VALLEY
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.
Roach, Rudd, Bream, Carp and Perch are all in abundance within the waters of Rother Valley Country Park.
Fishing permits are available to all anglers in possession of a current Environment Agency rod licence for you to participate in coarse angling at the following locations;

Please note that Northern Lake is used by the Sheffield Jet Ski Club and on Sundays, Newfoundland Dog Club; however, these two users do not affect the area where you are permitted to fish.
Occasionally events will be held on this lake and fishing will not be permitted until the event has finished.
(Please check our events listing prior to visiting the park). Fishing is only permitted in the park at our opening times.
