Aston Park Fisheries
Aston Park mixes proper match-lake choice with everyday pleasure fishing and bigger carp on Lilly. There’s plenty to pick from across over 25 acres of parkland, but check the closure signs before settling into a peg.
“7.5/10 — Carp, F1s, mixed coarse fishing and Lilly’s specimen-carp claim give anglers several worthwhile options.”

The full rundown on Aston Park Fisheries
Aston Park Fisheries is a cracking-looking option on paper if your fishing swings between a busy pole session and a patient wait for a bigger carp. The complex occupies over 25 acres of parkland, with pleasure fishing, open matches and night fishing all on the menu. For the journey, use Fiddleneck Lane, off Mansfield Road, Aston, Sheffield, S26 5PQ. That’s the address to aim for rather than a pin showing the lakes themselves.
The lake choice is the big draw here. Bills gives you 15 pegs and water around 10–11 metres wide, while Butts stretches things out into a 50-peg snake lake. Lanta has 25 pegs and a central island, with widths of 13–14 metres. All three hold carp and F1s. Those published widths are handy for thinking through your pole setup before loading the car, rather than discovering you’ve brought the wrong kit at the peg.
There’s more to the place than narrow carp waters, though. Eliysia’s has 20 pegs, mixed species and a small island, with an average depth of three feet. Split offers 42 pegs and typically four to six feet of water, with carp to 20lb, F1s and ide. Stable has 34 pegs, mainly carp, F1s and ide, and typical depths of three to five feet. Plenty of choice without pretending every lake fishes the same.
If bigger carp are your thing, Lilly is the one that jumps out. It has 41 pegs, depths of four to six feet and a fishery claim of specimen carp exceeding 30lb. That gives the venue a different angle from its F1 and match offering. Night fishing is available too, with a 24-hour ticket covering up to three rods. Just sort availability first and remember the gates stay shut between dusk and dawn.
For an ordinary day, there’s no reservation faff: pegs don’t need booking. Do check the lake-closure signs, though, because open matches run most days alongside pleasure fishing. One rod costs £9, two cost £11 and three cost £13. The dedicated fishing-price sections agree on those figures, even though some FAQ blocks still show lower amounts. Annual membership is also offered, but there’s no published membership price in the supplied details.
A couple of bits are worth getting straight before you tackle up. The website names nine lakes, although its introduction still says seven; Clanky’s and Ruby’s are also listed, beyond the seven described in detail here. General hooks must be barbless and no bigger than size 10, with Lilly allowing up to size 6. Bring a landing net, leave nets on the bank for 30 minutes before use, and leave the keepnet packed unless you’re fishing a match. Simple enough once you know.

Yes, it's required — Use barbless hooks, maximum size 10 generally; Lilly permits up to size 6.
Do I need my own unhooking mat or cradle?
Bring one either way — most fisheries expect it and the fish deserve it.
Is it suitable for disabled anglers?
We haven't seen disabled access listed. The fishery doesn't say on what we've checked, so give them a quick call before you set off.
Do I need a rod licence?
Yes — anyone 13 or over fishing in England and Wales needs an Environment Agency rod licence (or Natural Resources Wales in Wales), on top of your fishery ticket.
When's the best time of year to fish here?
Late spring through autumn is prime for most species. Check our live weather edge for this venue before you go — it updates daily.

Bills has 15 pegs, with water approximately 10–11 metres wide and up to four feet deep. Carp and F1s are the named residents.
That narrow layout makes it worth a look for pole anglers. The published width gives you a useful starting point for planning your kit, without promising an easy reach from every peg.

How we'd fish Bills
carp
Chod or helicopter style over soft weed and silt
Where the bottom drops in and out of holes or there might be soft silt or weed, a pop-up that slides up the leader sits over the muck instead of disappearing into it — no need to find a perfectly clean spot.
- Single pop-up, 2–3in off the bottom.
- Fish it as a single hookbait or with a light scattering of freebies — a big bed defeats the point.
- Cast to likely holes and let the lead settle; don't drag it back.
Venue rule: Leadcore is banned here, so run it on a mono or tubing leader with the top bead set to release — never fixed.
carp
Zigs in the warmer months
In clear, deep water carp often sit up in the layers on warm days. A zig is the only way to get a bait in front of them.
- Start at half depth and move up or down a foot at a time until you get bites.
- Black or foam hookbaits work well on bright days.
- Keep it simple — no freebies needed.

Which baits work well on Bills?
We've put together a full bait, rigs and seasons plan for Bills further up this page — it's built from the lake's features and the venue rules.

Which pegs are best on Bills?
Honestly, we don't rank pegs — the fish move with wind, pressure and pressure from other anglers. Have a walk and watch the water before you set up; the tips section above has what we've found so far.

- Species

Split has 42 pegs and typically four to six feet of water. The named stock is carp to 20lb, F1s and ide.
It offers a different mix from a straight specimen-carp choice. There’s a stated bigger-carp element, but F1s and ide broaden the appeal for a pleasure session.

How we'd fish Split
carp
Zigs in the warmer months
In clear, deep water carp often sit up in the layers on warm days. A zig is the only way to get a bait in front of them.
- Start at half depth and move up or down a foot at a time until you get bites.
- Black or foam hookbaits work well on bright days.
- Keep it simple — no freebies needed.
carp
Chod or helicopter style over soft weed and silt
Where the bottom drops in and out of holes or there might be soft silt or weed, a pop-up that slides up the leader sits over the muck instead of disappearing into it — no need to find a perfectly clean spot.
- Single pop-up, 2–3in off the bottom.
- Fish it as a single hookbait or with a light scattering of freebies — a big bed defeats the point.
- Cast to likely holes and let the lead settle; don't drag it back.
Venue rule: Leadcore is banned here, so run it on a mono or tubing leader with the top bead set to release — never fixed.

Which pegs are best on Split?
Honestly, we don't rank pegs — the fish move with wind, pressure and pressure from other anglers. Have a walk and watch the water before you set up; the tips section above has what we've found so far.

How we'd fish Clanky’s
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
Venue rule: Fixed leads are banned here, so use a lead clip set to drop the lead or an inline lead.

Tips & guides worth reading
How we'd fish each lake
Our own suggestions, worked out from each lake's features, its main fish and the venue rules. They're tried-and-tested methods, not reports from this venue, so watch the water and ask in the tackle shop on the day.
Bills
carp
Chod or helicopter style over soft weed and silt
Where the bottom drops in and out of holes or there might be soft silt or weed, a pop-up that slides up the leader sits over the muck instead of disappearing into it — no need to find a perfectly clean spot.
- Single pop-up, 2–3in off the bottom.
- Fish it as a single hookbait or with a light scattering of freebies — a big bed defeats the point.
- Cast to likely holes and let the lead settle; don't drag it back.
Venue rule: Leadcore is banned here, so run it on a mono or tubing leader with the top bead set to release — never fixed.

Light baiting tight to the island margins
Carp patrol the island margins on most venues. A handful of bait right on the edge often beats a heavy bed in open water, especially later in the day.
- Walk the bank first and look for bubbling, swirls or coloured water by the cover.
- Bait two or three spots with a few handfuls of chopped and whole boilies.
- Lower or flick the rig in quietly and back your line off with a back lead.
- Keep the drag set tight-ish — fish hooked by cover need turning quickly.

Our take on the feedback
Our read
Checked Sept '26 — “Aston Park mixes proper match-lake choice with everyday pleasure fishing and bigger carp on Lilly. There’s plenty to pick from across over 25 acres of parkland, but check the closure signs before settling into a peg.”
This is our own summary of recurring public feedback and the venue details we checked, not a copied customer review or a promise you’ll catch. Feedback changes, so we keep it separate from the Tackle Index score.
