Full fishery guide

How to pick the right fishery

Start with what you want to catch and how long you've got. A busy commercial with plenty of pegs is ace for a short session on the method feeder or pole; a quieter, older lake suits a proper carp or tench campaign. Peg counts, lake sizes and stock lists below give you a quick feel for each place.

Ticket prices are shown with the date we last checked them — ring ahead to confirm, especially for night fishing or bookings. Each full guide has the rules, the best approach for each lake and what other anglers are saying.
