"Had a great first time on Foxeholes Lake today. The owners are lovely, the facilities are great and the lake is well stocked with some lovely fish. It was a day of roach for us on float and feeder, and one beautiful small ghost carp which was very almost landed. Maggots and worms were the way forward, and something took interest to my vibrant yellow pineapple pop-up on one of the carp rods. Looking forward to returning."

Was a brill day out with partners grandson we will be back again regularly. Would highly recommend to everyone. Peaceful and beautiful surroundings."

"Wanted to say ‘Thank you!’ and recommend Rod Bender fishing tuition and Foxholes Lake for our fishing teaching session today. Steve is a great teacher who is happy to pitch at any level and gets everyone fishing; even our 5 year old. We all had a great time with the lovely surroundings of Foxholes Lake being perfect for our group as it’s close to Matlock and the owner (Sarah) is really friendly with super facilities…..
We will be back!! (Warn the fish!!)"

"We had a fantastic time fishing at Foxholes Lake last week. The first thing you notice is the very warm welcome from Sarah, and her husband Richard. They are really helpful and took the time to show us around. Once settled into the swim, the peace and tranquility is beautiful. The views are stunning and the snug hut is a great idea, and gave my wife somewhere to sit when she wanted to join me! It was lovely to have somewhere comfortable to relax and make a hot drink when taking a break from the fishing. The facilities were lovely and clean, and toilets even catered for guests with a disability. An added bonus, I caught a Crucian Carp and a 7lb Mirror Carp, both healthy, beautiful fish. I also caught a Bream, so was a fantastic visit! We are planning to go back again later in the year, and can't wait for our next trip. We would recommend you visit if you want a wonderful fishing experience. Thank you Sarah and Richard for your hospitality, look forward to seeing you again soon!"
