Wymondham
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.
67%Leicester Navigation
Leicester · 2 lakes on site
A proper River Soar and canal venue around Sileby and Mountsorrel, with barbel, chub, bream, carp and a decent spread of other river species. Day tickets are available, but check the exact section, seasonal access and permit details before setting off.
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.
Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir
Grantham Canal
Grantham Canal
Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir · 6 lakes on site
A cracking, club-controlled stretch of the Grantham Canal near Woolsthorpe-by-Belvoir, with day tickets, year-round fishing and a proper mix of canal species. There are six named sections, including a match length and a carp stretch.
78%Janson Fishery
Bingham · 8 lakes on site
Janson Fishery at Elton has eight waters covering mixed-coarse pleasure fishing, busy match layouts and bookable carp sessions. There’s plenty of choice, from island pegs to Redmile One’s carp of 10–23lb, but check seasonal gate hours before loading the car.
76%Rutland Water
Oakham · 1 lakes on site
Rutland Water is proper big-water fishing: approximately 3,100 acres, bank and boat fly fishing for trout, and boat-only predator sessions. There’s plenty of choice, but permit types, boat costs and method-specific seasons need sorting before you load the tackle.
68%Stretton Lakes
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.
