Brough Fishery Complex
Often described as the jewel in the H&DAA crown, Brough Fishery Complex offers seven individual lakes and a wide variety of fishing opportunities for anglers of all abilities.
Developed from the former British Aerospace pond, the complex represents a substantial investment by the Association, supported by more than 9,000 hours of volunteer labour. The acquisition of additional land also allowed the creation of a popular, well-stocked carp runs water.

Parking & Security Gate
Parking is available close to most pegs. Please park responsibly and never obstruct other anglers, access routes or gates.
The vehicular security gate must remain locked at all times. The combination is supplied with your annual membership. Do not block the entrance gate — access must be maintained 24 hours a day.
Protecting Our Wildlife & Fisheries
The complex is more than a fishing venue. It provides valuable habitat for a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, deer, water voles and badgers.
Thousands of trees, shrubs and wildflowers have been planted to improve the environment and support biodiversity. Members have an important part to play in protecting these habitats.
Zero Tolerance — Litter & Open Gates
All litter must be taken home, and every gate must be closed and secured as required. Failure to comply will result in a lifetime ban from the Association.
If you accidentally lose fishing line in a tree, please inform a bailiff so that it can be recovered safely. You will not be penalised for reporting it.
Help Maintain the Complex
Much of Brough’s development has been made possible by dedicated volunteers. From maintaining paths and pegs to replacing fencing and improving wildlife habitats, their contribution is invaluable.
Additional volunteers are always welcome, whether you can offer a few hours occasionally or more regular support.
