The game section of Furness Fishing Association contol two fisheries at Roanhead offering fly, spinning and bait fishing for stocked brown and rainbow trout.
Both Burlington Lake at 20 acres and Nigel Lake at 10 acres are the flooded remains of the substantial iron ore mining industry that developed around Dalton during the 1800's. While they are not typical of most cumbrian trout waters they do offer very reasonably priced sport close to the population centres of the Furness Peninsula.
Both are regularly stocked throughout the season and day permits are available for visitors.
