Fishing methods
Fly methods
Swallow Lake is the second, lower lake at Mill Farm Trout Lakes on Southcross Lane at Worton, near Devizes in Wiltshire, about five miles south of Devizes between Worton and Great Cheverell. Fishing here is catch and release only: every trout caught goes back, on a floating or sinking line with a single fly.
Swallow has no day ticket or price of its own. It is included free with any Kingfisher Lake ticket, whether a half day, full day, evening or season ticket, so anglers fishing Swallow are also holding a ticket for Kingfisher next door the same day.
The lake is open all year except August, eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, seven days a week. The same facilities serve both lakes: a tackle shop selling rods, lines, around sixty fly patterns and rod hire at £15 a day, hot pies, drinks and confectionery, a lakeside toilet with shelter, parking beside the lakes, and fly casting instruction with Paddy Warke. Payment is cash, cheque or BACS only, cards are not accepted.
