Fisheries near Gloucester
66%Gloucester and Sharpness Canal
Gloucester · 1 lakes on site
Proper canal fishing rather than a lake complex, with bream, roach and predators all in the mix. The Gloucester Canal Season Ticket covers towpath coarse fishing from Monk Meadow to the former railway bridge at Purton Lower—not the whole canal.
Harescombe
Harescombe Fisheries
Harescombe Fisheries
Harescombe · 5 lakes on site
Harescombe Fisheries has five stocked lakes across the main Harescombe site and the separate Naas Lane fishery. There’s a useful mix of carp, tench, bream and silver-fish fishing, with day tickets from £7.50 and a café on the bank.
Lydney
Lydney Canal
Lydney Canal
Lydney · 2 lakes on site
