About the fishery

Rectory Lodge is a two-lake rainbow-trout fishery on Rectory Road outside Cookstown. It now operates through advance group bookings of at least ten anglers, with no general walk-in access. Groups can arrange catch-and-release fly fishing or bait fishing with a stated fish allowance. The operator rears trout on site and advertises equipment hire, refreshments, lakeside seating and accommodation. Cottage fishing add-ons are listed separately and should be confirmed directly.

Venue overview

  • The fishery lies outside Cookstown and combines group fishing with a separately bookable cottage. It is one physical complex.

Lakes and fish species

Waters and species

  • There are two lakes: Fly Lake and Bait Lake, both stocked with rainbow trout.
  • The operator says trout are reared on site and the lakes are restocked weekly. These are operator stocking claims, not an independent current stock survey or catch guarantee. Water areas and peg counts are unconfirmed.

Fishing access and booking

Access and booking

  • Fishing is currently available exclusively through advance group bookings of at least ten anglers. The group-only restriction is repeated across the official pages and takes precedence over generic welcome or day-fishing wording.
  • Clubs, schools, corporate groups, private events and family groups can enquire through the booking form or the fishing telephone/WhatsApp number.
  • A cottage booking can include an optional fishing add-on, but the accommodation sleeps up to eight while the general fishing minimum is ten. Confirm the applicable cottage-guest terms directly; this is not an unrestricted public day ticket.
