Fern Lodge

Fishing:

• Fishing is £15 per 12 hours, or £25 per 24 hours for stays of 2-3 nights. Fishing is included for stays of 4 nights or greater.
• Fishing is possible directly from Fern Lodge if with bait boat only (due to the risk of casting with the overhead power line above). Fishing with rod can be done from a peg a short distance from the lodge.
• Fern Lodge sits on the bank of the Dimmet Lake, which is home to common and mirror carp up to 30-lbs, as well as bream, tench, roach, rudd, and perch.
