Beyond our renowned specimen lakes, Bluebell Lakes Fishery offers a fantastic opportunity to experience the best of traditional river angling on a two-mile stretch of the River Nene.
This picturesque section of the river, with its natural flow, reed-lined margins, locks, and weirs, provides a refreshing alternative to stillwater fishing.
The River Nene at Bluebell Lakes is a vibrant ecosystem, teeming with a wide variety of coarse fish. Anglers can expect to encounter large nets of silverfish, including abundant roach, bream, and dace.
It’s particularly popular for its specimen chub, with fish reaching impressive sizes, and good numbers of tench. For those seeking a challenge, the river also holds a resident population of carp, with specimens recorded over 30lb, offering a true test of river craft.
During the cooler months, the Nene becomes a prime location for pike and perch, providing exciting predator fishing opportunities.
With over 80 pegs available, many of which are easily accessible by car, fishing the River Nene at Bluebell Lakes combines convenience with genuine river adventure.
While it can be more unpredictable than the lakes, the natural beauty and diverse species make every session a unique and rewarding experience for the discerning angler.
Day tickets are available for this unique stretch of river, making it an excellent addition to your Bluebell Lakes visit.
