At Spring Lea we host open matches four times a week; Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. All matches are open to all anglers. To learn about upcoming matches and book your place, please contact us.

On match day, please go to Lakeside Café to complete your draw. Once your peg has been chosen, please make your way towards the pool. Our tackle and bait shop is well stocked, with all the essential items you need for a day’s fishing.
Match day winners are announced once all weights have been recorded back at the café/reception area. All match results are posted daily on our Facebook page, and uploaded onto the News section of our website.
