About Bitterwell Lake
February – March 2022
Bitterwell Lake remains open during the roadworks along Ram Hill. Please follow the yellow diversion signs.
Summer 2021
Bitterwell Lake is once again fully open as a Fishing Lake and recreational area for the public, subject to notices regarding fishing competitions closing certain sections on occasions (less than once a weeek). Dogs MUST be kept on a lead at all times. Please take your litter home – “Leave Nothing But Footprints”
You will notice that the Parish Council have had to install Otter Fencing, and whilst not ideal, this is to protect the fish and fishing after otters started to predate the fish. These new otter gates will be open during Lake opening times.
For more information on fishing or coaching, contact our Lake Manager Paul on either 07717 131438 or 07407 657429 or by email bitterwelllakefishing@gmail.com
For any other matters please contact the Parish Clerk on westerleighpc@gmail.com
