The Twins

The Twins is the Buckingham & District Angling Association’s Maids Moreton Poor Charity Field venue on the Great Ouse. Day tickets are available, but you’ll need to sort one in advance and parking close to the field is still being worked on.

The lowdown

  • This is one of Buckingham & District Angling Association’s Great Ouse venues, with the association controlling around five miles of river centred around Buckingham.
  • The official venue name is The Twins – Maids Moreton Poor Charity Field. It’s in the Maids Moreton area of Buckinghamshire.
  • The association doesn’t publish an exact fishable length or peg count here, so expect to find your own swim rather than working to a numbered-peg plan.
  • Parking is the main faff. The association says it is still trying to find a solution nearer the Poor Charity Field venue, and no dedicated parking area is published.
  • The fish list includes chub, perch and roach for the River Twin/Padbury Brook waters. The association’s catch gallery also records pike from the Great Ouse Twins.
  • The Ouse waters are described by the association as holding specimen fish, so there’s scope for more than just a quick bit of small-fish action.
  • Day tickets run from 16 June to 14 March. That’s important: river fishing is shut from 15 March to 15 June, with no fishing on association river venues during the close season.
  • There’s no official confirmation of night fishing at The Twins. Treat it as daytime-only unless the association tells you otherwise.
  • The venue page doesn’t set out a dedicated method guide, so choose your approach around the conditions on the day and keep things tidy in the swim.
  • Water safety matters. The rules prohibit entering the river, except during an organised working party covered by a formal risk assessment. Properly bob on — stay on the bank.

Methods: No dedicated method guidance is published for The Twins. Pick your approach around the conditions on the day, with the named chub, perch, roach and pike making it a venue worth tackling thoughtfully.

Coarse fishing on English rivers is closed from 15 March to 15 June inclusive. That's the law for coarse fish on rivers — it's not a club rule, and game-fishing seasons work differently.
