Bitterwell Lake is a fishing club located in Bristol, New Zealand. With a focus on fishing, community, and nature, Bitterwell Lake offers a range of services to anglers of all ages and abilities.
Anglers are no longer required to book in advance, they can simply arrive on the day and choose a peg. The club offers both single and double swims for individuals, couples, or families. Day tickets can be purchased with either cash or card at the peg. Every Tuesday, an 'OPEN' Silvers Fishing Match is held, but pegs are also available to pleasure anglers.
Results and match reports are regularly updated on the club's Facebook page. To participate in the match, individuals can contact Paul, the Fishery Manager, to book in.
Bitterwell Lake also has a Junior Fishing Team, which is open to new members.
