Important Changes for Day Tickets

For the last month we have been quiet on the Facebook as some important changes have been taking place as the Hideaway Lakes Experience, in particular the Fishery, takes a change in direction. Our Vision remains the same to Create a Private Country Estate and make it a venue for country estate activities. Below is a message from the owner, John Campbell:

"Hideaway Lakes Portugal would like to thank those of you that supported our day ticket fishery. However, there simply were not enough of you to justify a day ticket business. We are considering forming a local angling group in the future for those of you that are interested."

We will be holding special events in the future which will allow people to fish, once these are confirmed we will let you know.

We are continuing to develop the accommodation and it is possible to book short breaks or holidays from 3 nights and for the experienced angler to enjoy our fishery. We do have tackle and bait available at the estate. Alternatively if you do book a holiday and you need a guide we can arrange this at a supplement and subject to notice

More details of holidays available at the Lodge (pictured above) can be seen on 

PAC (Portugal) Ltd Secluded websites

To showcase all the changes and accommodation we are in the process of building a new website.

 The main lake is full and looking great. It is fishing well in the evenings. So, John suggests that you book a twilight ticket or a half day ticket and increase your chances while it is hot. Fishing is now allowed for one hour after dusk. Great Fun!

Wild Carp test

The Wild Carp Specimen Lake was test fished by one of our independent guides for 36 hours straight last week and produced very good results. 23 Carp mirrors and common. Mostly mid doubles and a couple of surprises.

Bass Test fishing
Test Fishing for large mouth bass will start later this week, We have two guest guides testing plastic and soft lures, Watch this space!!!
