Carp Fishing Huts on Your Own Swim Near Bridgwater
Nine purpose built wooden huts, each on its own swim, around a fenced three acre lake of common, mirror, ghost and koi carp at North Petherton. Night sessions run midday to midday.
An angler's hut, not a holiday lodge. Follyfoot's huts are simple wooden shelters with a battery light and a small table, each sitting on its own swim, so you fish from the door for common, mirror, ghost and koi carp. The biggest reported fish was 28lb, with several in the twenties and some big fish still uncaught. It suits carp anglers on a 24 hour session, not families wanting a holiday lodge.
Good for
- 24 hour carp sessions
- Anglers wanting their own swim
- Pairs of friends fishing together
Think twice if
- You want beds or a kitchen: the huts are basic shelters
- You fish the pole: poles are banned because of overhead cables
Book a hut ahead
Each hut is designed for two and advance booking is recommended, especially at weekends and peak times.
