Why it's Wildland
4.6Two coarse-fishing lakes sit within a 15-acre Cornish countryside setting near St Erth. The waters offer contrasting depths and a variety of coarse fish; the River Hayle borders the site.
BK Fisheries earns its place for a focused, waterside outdoor experience: two distinct fishing lakes in a countryside setting beside the River Hayle. It is best approached as a working fishery, with access and activities confirmed directly before setting out.

The experience
The clearest supported reason to visit is coarse fishing on the two lakes. Other activities and general visitor access are not sufficiently confirmed, so check with the fishery before planning a wider visit.
Things to do
Fish one of the coarse lakes
The venue is described as having two main waters, Billy’s Lake and Bills Lake, with different sizes and depths and a mix of coarse fish. Confirm current access, availability and rules directly with the fishery.
Compare the two waters
If permitted during your visit, look at how the smaller, shallower Billy’s Lake differs from larger, deeper Bills Lake. Do not assume you can walk between or around the lakes without venue approval.
