Woodlands Fisheries

A 6.5-acre twin-lake coarse fishery on the A159 between Gainsborough and Scunthorpe, developed over 30 years by owner Paul Bailey — himself a disabled angler. All 30 pegs are wheelchair-accessible with a fully disabled car park, and a café sits centrally between the two lakes. Both leisure and match anglers welcome; catch-and-release only.

• A valid Environment Agency rod licence must be carried at all times.
• Catch and release only — fish must not be killed or removed from the site.
• Single hooks only; multiple hooks not permitted on any lake.
• Barbless hooks only.
• Use landing nets and keep fish handling time to a minimum.
• Unhook catch-and-release fish in the water where possible.
• All rubbish must be taken home — no commercial waste collection on site.
• No open flames, BBQs or gas camping burners on site.
• Packed lunches and picnics are allowed on site but not inside the café.
