Oakham Canal was Oakham Angling Society water, with a long fishable section and around 50 swims. The society wound up in 2024, though, so current fishing access is a proper check-first job rather than a turn-up-and-cast affair.
68%Wing Hall Fishing Lakes
Uppingham · 1 lakes on site
Wing Hall has two mixed coarse lakes, each over an acre with 20 pitches, and a cracking spread of carp, tench, bream and other species. Bring cash, leave the boilies and groundbait at home, and check the odd two-rod tariff before heading over.

Oakham · 1 lakes on site
Stretton Lakes offers mixed coarse day-ticket fishing in Rutland, with carp, tench, bream and silvers to go at. Handy parking, anglers’ toilets and an onsite bait-and-tackle shop keep the practical faff down.

Nirvana Fisheries
Nirvana Fisheries
Wymondham · 2 lakes on site
Nirvana Fisheries near Wymondham is a quiet, natural Norfolk venue built around a top pond and lower pond. It looks particularly appealing for crucian and tench fishing, with the big caveat that access is by invitation or prior arrangement rather than a normal day-ticket setup.
