Clattercote Reservoir

Overview

Clattercote Reservoir in Oxfordshire is a well-known site for carp fishing in the UK. British Waterways stocked the reservoir with over 50,000 small carp a few years ago, establishing a robust population. With more than 100 pegs, mostly purpose-built wooden platforms, securing a fishing spot is straightforward, even on busier weekends.

Facilities

The reservoir provides disabled access and facilities to cater to all visitors. Parking is available, though the car park can hold only around 30 to 40 cars, so arriving early on peak days is advisable. For those new to carp fishing, assistance is available to help get started.

Fishing

Anglers at Clattercote Reservoir can target carp up to 30 lb, offering the chance to catch substantial specimens. The extensive number of pegs ensures ample opportunities to find a good spot, while the wooden platforms offer a stable base for fishing.
