Meadow Lakes.
A small self contained fishery on the out skirts of Northampton. The
two small lakes are set in the country and over the last two years
have thrown up some very big surprises There are a good head of
Roach Bream Perch and Tench in the waters but the special fish are
the resident carp which currently go to just over thirty. There is
on site parking and all the pegs are done with paving slabs. The
Eastern, flatter bank is accessible to disabled people who can if
finding walking difficult take their car and park it behind their
peg.
Swan Valley Lake .
A body of water situated on the Banbury Lane just outside
Northampton. The lake has a good head of coarse fish of all species
with some respectable carp recorded in recent months. The Lake has
always been classified as free water by locals but the owners have
now leased the water to the Club. It is for the time being to remain
a members only water at the insistence of the proprietors.
Shelfleys lake.
A brook fed lake situated along
Ladybridge Drive Northampton. This water also contains most coarse
species with good catches of Bream or Tench when conditions are
right.
The Grand Union Canal.
On the G.U.C. we control fourteen miles of prime match water. Which
stretches from Dodford near Weedon in the North to Yardley Gobion in
the South. We are extremely lucky in that we only have one flight of
locks over the whole length so there are no surges on the water all
the time and on top of that the fish seem to grow to a better size
with Roach to over the pound Tench to over seven, Perch to three, and carp to the early twenties. As members of the
Angling Trust we are
eligible to host National Angling events.
The Northampton Arm.
The River Great Ouse.
The jewel in our crown some would say. We have various fisheries
along the Great Ouse which include Newton Blossomville, Carlton, and
of course Turvey a prime Barbel water that is quite capable of, and
quite often does produce fish to in excess of fourteen pounds.
Turvey is probably the most popular fishery we own with chaps and
lasses coming from near and far for a chance of that fish of a life
time. We do not allow day tickets on the water. It is a members only
venue and is very well cared for by a dedicated bailiffing team.
We have many more River fisheries but
they are on the River Nene. Cogenhoe and Weston Mill to name a
couple.
We do have a lot more water than that
mentioned and full details can be obtained from The Membership
Secretary or the Chairman. SEE
