Ravenstone

Ravenstone gives you roughly 1,400 yards of the River Great Ouse, run by Milton Keynes Angling Association. It’s members-only water with a cracking mix of shallows, quick streamy glides and slower, deeper areas.

We don't publish an "ideal level" — nobody can promise one. Flood water is dangerous: if it's up and coloured, stay well back from the edge. Open River Ready

The lowdown

  • The stretch runs one field upstream of the weir and three fields downstream, so there’s a fair bit of water to explore.
  • The lower section meanders through open fields. Proper wandering water rather than a sit-on-one-peg job.
  • Expect a mixed river. Some shallow bits, long fast glides and slower, deeper areas all feature.
  • It’s a stalking-friendly stretch, ideal for keeping mobile and having a good look before dropping in.
  • Roving lure fishing is also specifically suited here, so there’s scope to cover water rather than wait it out.
  • The venue was formerly well known for barbel. They’re still present, but MKAA says numbers are lower these days.
  • The banks can be undercut, so take care when moving about. Don’t get too close to dodgy-looking edges.
  • The official location is OS grid coordinates 485370E 248725N, or WGS84 52.130247, -0.754261.
  • MKAA gives the nearest postcode as MK46 5AX, but says the car park itself has no postcode.
  • There are river photographs around Ravenstone Mill in grid square SP8548 near Filgrave, which may help get your bearings before heading out.
  • We're not sure on ticket prices for this one — check with the club or local regulations before you leave.

Methods: Keep mobile with a stalking approach, working the quieter areas and likely cover. Roving lure fishing is another bob-on option, while the fast glides and deeper sections offer plenty to explore.
