Killingworth Lake

Night Fishing Rules


Killingworth lake is a day ticket water. The same respect for our fish stocks may not be given by an outsider. Please be observant and assist if anyone looks as if they are struggling to land, unhook or release fish.

All Club rules as Items 1 to 27 apply together with the following: -

i. All park rules must be adhered to at all times.

Please read all of the rules thoroughly as the saying "I did not know" will be no excuse.


Please note, the TAA membership does not entitle you to fish the waters belonging to clubs affiliated to the TAA. It only entitles you to fish controlled and managed by the TAA.
