Haywards Farm Lake, which first opened in March 2000, underwent a change in management in May 2016 when the Sportfish team took over. With a vision to create one of the best small, stillwater trout fisheries in the country, the team embarked on an ambitious project to enhance the already picturesque 11-acre lake. The spring-fed Haywards Farm Lake is known for its crystal clear water, abundant wildlife, and diverse insect life. The landscaping around the lake provides excellent access for anglers and allows for unimpeded casting. Unlike other featureless lakes, Haywards Farm Lake has character in the form of bays, reed-fringed margins, and promontories. The depths of the lake range from 3 to 15ft, offering a variety of fishing opportunities for anglers of all skill levels. Open year-round, the lake is equipped with aerators to mix and oxygenate the water during the summer months. Regular stocking includes high-quality, hard-fighting rainbows, superb brown trout, and blue trout. The fish in the lake currently average over 3lb in weight, with many in the 5 to 9lb range. Anglers may also encounter specimen fish that provide a real test of their tackle. The current lake record for brown trout stands at 15lb, while the best rainbow caught weighs in at 13lb 15oz. With its stunning surroundings, diverse fish population, and commitment to providing a premier fishing experience, Haywards Farm Lake is a must-visit destination for anglers looking for a unique and rewarding fishing adventure.
