Wing Hall Fishing Lakes is a two-lake coarse venue at Wing in Rutland, with carp alongside a proper mix of other species. Each lake exceeds an acre and has 20 pitches, so there are 40 pitches across the pair. The estate address is Wing Hall, Wing, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 8RY. If you fancy mixed fishing rather than making the whole day about carp, there’s plenty in the published species list to catch your eye.

Common and ghost carp feature on the fishery’s list, alongside bream and tench. The fishing guide adds mirror, grass and crucian carp, plus roach, chub and rarely caught catfish. That last bit matters: catfish are listed, but don’t build your whole trip around one putting in an appearance. The attraction here is the mix. There’s no published weight claim in the supplied details, so this isn’t a guide built around promises of lumps or a guaranteed PB.

Day-ticket arrangements are refreshingly straightforward. Choose a pitch and the warden comes round to collect payment and issue your ticket. It’s cash only, so sort that before getting settled on the bank, and keep your ticket handy for inspection. Normal opening is daily from dawn until dusk, including Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Earlier opening can be requested, while night fishing needs arranging beforehand rather than simply staying on when the light goes.

Have a proper look at the tackle and bait rules before packing. There’s a maximum of two rods, barbless hooks are required, and both groundbait and boilies are prohibited. That rules out a groundbait feeder approach or your usual boilie-led carp plan straight away. Bring a landing net, return fish promptly and gently, and make sure you meet the guide’s rod-licence requirement. Whatever species you’re after, fish care and a tidy bank are part of the deal.

There are a couple of booking wrinkles worth a quick call. The adult one-rod day rate is clear, but the same tariff prints a lower price for two rods: get that confirmed rather than assuming you’ve found a cheeky bargain. Pricing for anglers aged exactly 14 isn’t specified either. The day-ticket page requires adult accompaniment for under-14s, while the guide says under-16s, so follow that wider requirement when planning a youngster’s session.

Practical comforts need a little thought too. The undated guide says there are no lakeside toilets, with facilities uphill at Wing Hall. Use the parking areas without blocking lakeside tracks, take all rubbish home, and remember that lakeside camping, ground fires and boilers aren’t allowed. Match hire is available by prior arrangement. For tariff questions, night sessions or checking the current toilet arrangements, ring the fishery or use the official contact form. A quick check now saves faff on the day.

Good background reading. Most of it is a few years old, so treat it as a starting point and ask on the day.

  Checked Sept '26 — “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.”
