Lincolnshire Fishing Lodges With Seven Lakes and Hot Tubs
Lodges, lakeside pods, static caravans and a touring park on 40 acres at Claxby, five miles from Market Rasen, with seven stocked lakes, a specimen water holding carp to 30lb and catfish to 31lb, day tickets from £8, a café and an on-site tackle shop.
A busy day ticket and match venue with lodges attached. Wold View is first a working fishery: seven lakes, open matches and day tickets, with lodges, pods and a touring park around them. Bronze Lake is the one for a carp angler, eight pegs with mirrors to 30lb and catfish to 31lb, while Gold, Silver and Island suit pleasure and match fishing. It suits anglers who like a sociable venue more than those wanting a lake to themselves.
Good for
- Match and pleasure anglers
- Carp and catfish anglers on Bronze Lake
- Bringing a dog
Think twice if
- You want quiet water: open matches run several days a week
- You want private fishing: the lakes are shared with day ticket anglers
Check the match days before you book
Listings say open matches run on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, so pleasure anglers may find the match lakes busier on those days.
