14-acre lake near Lancashire. The lake tops out around 13 ft. Contours on this water are modeled from its actual shoreline and max depth. Good for finding likely water, never for navigation. Species by species, here's what the data says the year looks like.
Wyresdale Park Lake maps at 14 acres behind 0.8 miles of shoreline. At index 1.4 the outline is almost a bowl — read the depth changes, not the shoreline. The whole water is littoral — nothing here runs deeper than ~15 ft, so it's all weed-and-bait territory. Call it 0.3 mi long. It sits in Lancashire. Its nearest charted neighbour, Stocks Reservoir, is 14 mi to the east.
Spring puts brown trout in skinny water — 2 to 13 ft is the zone. Summer fish stay in 4 to 13 ft, and winter fish hold in 2 to 13 ft. Break off the point is the standout, a drop-off at roughly 6 ft, rated prime for summer brown trout. Plan around after dark and early morning in the warm months. A spoon at the thermocline or a deep stickbait (night) covers the summer program.
Depth note: when a documented seasonal range extends below this chart, the table shows the deepest mapped working water, not a verified holding depth.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 3 to 25 ft | dawn & dusk | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Stickbait off planer boards (shallow), Small spoon along mud lines |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 25 to 60 ft | night & dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Spoon at the thermocline, Deep stickbait (night) |
| Fall | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 30 ft | dusk & dawn | Main-lake point (8 ft) | Jerkbait over gravel, Casting spoon |
| Winter | 2 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 5 to 35 ft | dawn | Break off the point (6 ft) | Jigging spoon, Small stickbait (slow) |
Early season european perch use the shallows, holding in 3 to 12 ft. Summer is a 4 to 13 ft game here, winter a 4 to 13 ft one. The chart's best answer is Shallow bay flat — weed flat, 3 ft, prime for spring. Best bite is early morning. Tie on a drop-shot micro plastics or a small crankbait (perch pattern) and you're in the game.

| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 to 12 ft | midday & dawn | Shallow bay flat (3 ft) | Small jig + curly tail, Inline spinner #1-2 |
| Summer | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 8 to 28 ft | dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Drop-shot micro plastics, Small crankbait (perch pattern) |
| Fall | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 10 to 33 ft | midday | Deep basin (11 ft) | Jigging spoon (small), Drop-shot on deep flats |
| Winter | 4 to 13 ft chart-limited; documented 12 to 33 ft | midday & dawn | Deep basin (11 ft) | Tungsten jig + maggots, Small balance jig |
Come spring, look for northern pike tight to the bank in 2 to 8 ft. They move out to 4 to 13 ft in summer and finish the year down in 4 to 13 ft. If you only fish one area, make it Shallow bay flat: a weed flat around 3 ft that scores prime in spring. Best bite is early morning and the evening. A bucktail or a weedless spoon over cabbage is the honest summer answer here.

Structure-wise the chart holds 4 features, led in depth by Deep basin at roughly 11 ft.
Wyresdale Park Lake is about 13 ft (4 m) deep at its deepest point. The contours here are modeled from the water's real shape and maximum depth, so treat them as a rough guide.
Anglers target brown trout, european perch, northern pike on Wyresdale Park Lake. This isn't a survey of the water — none is published for it — but an informed estimate from the species common to the region, narrowed by this water's depth, size and each species' range.
Shallow bay flat is the top-rated area: a weed flat in about 3 ft of water that rates prime for european perch in spring. The interactive chart above rates every spot for each species and season.
For brown trout, the summer bite is best in after dark and early morning. Each species page section below lists the seasonal windows, and the map shows a live NOW badge when you're inside one.
