Longreed Lakes

Longreed is a one and a half acre interesting shaped & feature packed carp water with 7 swims.

There are three islands, numerous lily beds and substantial island and marginal reed growth. Depths reach seven feet in the troughs and holes but average four to five feet elsewhere.

As well as these obvious features there are numerous others, such as silt beds, clay bars and plateaus.

Meticulous management and a selective stocking and harvesting programme has ensured the fish remain healthy and maintain a year on year weight gain.

This year is the first time longreed has produced carp over 35lbs. Since Sept 2011 five have graced the banks. All commons and thought to be different fish. The top mirror has leapt up a couple more pounds to 37lb 14oz and several other mirrors are between 20lb and 30lb. The average weight now stands at 26lb 8oz.

The whole of longreed can be booked for a maximum of 4 anglers for £60 per day.

To help with the walk down to longreed we now supply trolleys and a tractor and trailer ferrying service. Please book before you turn up.

Longreed is not a runs water, but if you are looking for stunning fish and beautiful surroundings then look no further.

Longreed fish are mainly taken on good quality freezer or home made baits. Fishy and fruit combos work well. On both lakes, short sessions with well presented rigs and bait are often more effective, than long stays.
