Amazon Wood Fishery

Fox Lake

Fox Lake is the first of the two day ticket waters that you will see when you drive onto the fishery complex. The lake is a rectangular one acre, old brick pit with banks full of shrubs and reeds, and a large tree that dangles far into the lake. The lake has approximately eight man made flat gravelled swims that are slightly raised from the waters edge. The water on fox lake is a colourful orange clay colour. The lake depths range from 3 to 10 feet.

Rabbit Lake

The Rabbit Lake is the second of the day ticket waters that you will see as you enter the complex. The lake is on the left hand side of the track opposite fox lake. Rabbit Lake is two oval shaped pools joined together by a small channel that flows between a small bank separating the two pools. The lake is approximately one acre in size. The lake's features include reeds and shrubs on the banks, lily pads, a small island on the more colourful left hand pool, and a bridge overlooking a small channel that links the two pools together.

Badger Lake - Members only

Badger Lake is the final lake on the complex, the lake is tucked away from the two day ticket water lakes. This one acre ellipse shaped water offers a relaxing feeling of isolation in the peaceful wooded country surroundings. The lake only has four swims that are well spread around the lake to offer large amounts of space to fish. The swims are flat, gravelled and are almost level with the water surface. Badger Lake is jam packed with features that include two small islands, lillies, weed beds, and banks full of reeds and shrubs. The waters depths range from 6 to 12 feet.

Had a great day, will be returning. When my son wants to starr to fishing, Fox Lake is where he'll be learning. Cheers Ian (the owner) for a quality fishery.
