Find a Fishing Location

Lodge Farm Fisheries in Oxfordshire, near Bicester, offers anglers a delightful escape with its two distinctive lakes. Whether you prefer the thrill of targeting hefty carp or enjoy a variety of freshwater species, Lodge Farm caters to diverse fishing styles.

Specimen Lake

The first lake, known as Specimen Lake, is a haven for carp enthusiasts. Home to carp weighing up to 25 lb, this lake boasts a robust population with numerous double-digit specimens. Anglers can explore three islets, providing unique spots to cast their lines. For those looking to stand out from the crowd, enhancing your bait with odiferous additives like Goos and flavourings can make a significant difference.

Match Lake

Match Lake offers a more varied fishing experience. While it maintains a healthy carp population, most carp here are under ten pounds, though a few larger ones can still be found. In addition to carp, anglers can target perch up to 4 lb, roach up to 2 lb, bream, and occasional tench. This lake is ideal for fishing with a pole or float, allowing for almost any fishing approach. For larger catches, it's advisable to fish closer to the lake bottom.

Fishing Tips

Meanwhile, in Match Lake, varying your approach and staying near the bottom can increase your opportunities to land a personal best. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying your hand for the first time, Lodge Farm provides ample opportunities to enjoy a rewarding day out on the water.
