About Burlington Pond
Furness Fishing Association manages two fishing spots at Roanhead in Cumbria called Burlington Lake and Nigel Lake. These lakes used to be iron ore mines in the 1800s and are now used for fishing. You can catch brown and rainbow trout here using fly, spinning, or bait fishing.
Both lakes are not like other fishing spots in Cumbria, but they are close to the Furness Peninsula and offer affordable fishing options. The lakes are stocked regularly with fish, and visitors can buy day permits to fish here.
