Situated near the village of West Tanfield near Ripon, Tanfield Lodge is an attractive 11.5 acre lake which in a previous incarnation used to be a gravel pit. As is the case with many fisheries based on old gravel-workings the water is very deep in places, shelving off to 30 feet at some points and usually quite clear.

There is a car park for approx. 20 cars, a toilet and a fishermans lodge complete with wood burning stove and veranda overlooking the lake. Disabled anglers can park right by the waters edge.

As you enter the car park there is a small ‘lodge’ complete with toilet and seating area should the elements force you to beat a hasty retreat, and less physically able anglers can park almost at the water’s edge for ease of access.  Looking down from the car park at the lake you will see a spit of land jutting out into the water on the left which is probably the easiest place for casting because there are no obstructions and you can easily switch direction if you find yourself casting into a headwind.

Tanfield Lodge looks like a big reservoir squeezed down to a handy size lake and can fish like one too. It’s well worth a visit as the fish are good quality and the venue is very attractive, with plenty of woodland and general greenery to remind you fly-fishing isn’t about muddy puddles in fields.

Tanfield Lodge is a very attractive location surrounded by beautiful coutryside, including woodland and rolling fields. You may even see the resident Osprey show you how to catch a fish and not release as it flies off with it into the distance.
