Birch House Lakes offers 10 picturesque still water lakes covering 14 acres of water set in a beautiful, tranquil spot on the outskirts of Ednaston just off the A52 between Derby and Ashbourne.  

The fishery provides a mixture of pleasure and match angling on new and established waters which are all professionally maintained and well stocked. The lakes have 250 pegs to enjoy the 14 different species of fish on offer to include carp, bream, tench, roach and F1s. 

​

Also known as the Silver Fish Lakes at Birch House Lakes, Mallard and Teal tend to be regarded as one water as they are both canal-style venues ideally suited for pole fishing. However, the larger of the two – Mallard Lake – has a large rectangular bay at one end which also makes it suitable for either waggler, swimfeeder or straightforward ledger fishing.

In addition to a few errant carp, both waters are heavily stocked with a selection of silver fish. These include roach and rudd to 1lb 8oz, bream to 8lbs, perch between 8oz and 1lb, chub to about 1lb, green and golden tench to about 2lbs and both blue and golden orfe and ide.

​

Equipped with their own toilets and car park, Mallard and Teal also have the attraction for anglers who enjoy solitude that, being at the far end of the Birch House site, they are normally quieter than the other lakes – except on Sunday mornings when the nearby church bells announce the morning services!

​

Along with the Teal, the Mallard formed one of the original Silver Fish Lakes. The Mallard is the largest of the 3 lakes and has a large rectangular bay at one end which also makes it suitable for either waggler, swim-feeder or straightforward ledger fishing. It is situated between Wigeon and Teal and offers a canal style lake running to a width of up to 16 metres and 18 metres at the widest part. This lake runs between 4 and 8 feet deep are great year-round waters which particularly come into their own in winter. 

​

Mallard has 33 pegs.

​

The Mallard is heavily stocked with a selection of silver fish. These include roach and rudd to 1lb 8oz, bream to 8lbs, perch between 8oz and 1lb, chub to about 1lb, green and golden tench to about 2lbs and both blue and golden orfe, ide, skimmers and goldfish. 

​

The Mallard suits pole, waggler and feeder fishing. 

​

Bait on the Mallard is similar to the other lakes to include pellets, yellow sweetcorn and maggots.
