Fishing safe at historic pike venue

A YORKSHIRE stillwater famous for producing a huge 46lb 11oz pike will continue to allow angling despite plans to add more watersports facilities to the site, developers have said. 

The trout lake at Wykeham near Scarborough is part of the N Yorks Water Park complex, which has three fishable lakes. A wakeboarding course is soon to be installed on the neighbouring Water Park Lake, but spokesperson Elena Bunbury said:

“Fishing will still be a core part of the business.”

This huge pike was caught back in 2014 at 46lb 11oz from the venue
