Brough Fishery Complex

The Brough complex is the jewel in the H&DAA crown. Since purchasing the former British Aerospace pond, the Association has spent many thousands of pounds on its development into what is now a 7-lake complex catering for anglers of all skills.

Additionally, a small number of members have given well over 9,000 hours of volunteer labour to the project. Now with most of the major work completed, the original complex provides seven separate fisheries offering the membership a range of angling experiences and goals.

The acquisition of further land next to the original Aerospace lake resulted in the Association excavating a pond that has evolved into a popular, well-stocked ‘runs’ carp fishery.

The 7-lake Brough Complex is particularly suitable for disabled anglers. There is parking directly behind or close to all the pegs and the majority of the pegs have level access. Several toilets are available in different locations on the site.

If you would like to help with the development of this complex, please contact Derek Pye on 07811 897033 to volunteer. We recently had to replace a large section of otter fencing at fairly short notice, and our volunteers responded superbly – but we can never have enough volunteers to share the load. All of our fisheries constantly need maintenance and improvement.

As with our other sites the Brough Complex provides a habitat for a large range of wildlife that we wish to protect and develop (well, we encourage all wildlife apart from otters, mink and cormorants). There is a wide variety of birds (some uncommon) to be seen on our fisheries, as well as other animals such as deer, water voles and badgers. To this end we have planted several thousand trees, shrubs and wild flowers. Protect this fishing environment by taking your litter away and not leaving any gates open. Failure to do so will result in a lifetime ban. If you accidentally lose any fishing line in a tree, tell a bailiff. You will not get in trouble for this.

Tickets required

Daytime fishing (apart from Osprey) is allowed on your membership permit. Night fishing is available but check your membership book for details. Due to the excellent fishing at very reasonable cost there are waiting lists for night permits.

Direction

If you leave the A63 at the Brough / Elloughton exit, head toward Brough. At the first roundabout continue across towards Brough. At the next roundabout take the first left onto Moor Road. Go straight across at the next roundabout and then cross over the railway line bridge. At the next roundabout take the first left into Blenheim Avenue following any signs to the Welton Waters Activity Centre. Carry on through the housing estate till it connects on a right turn to the old, bumpy Common Lane. Follow Common Lane down till the H&DAA sign appears on the right as the road splits. Do not block the gate – 24 hours access is required.
