Straight mile fishery

About Straight Mile

Straight Mile Fishery is located at Brampton, straddling the Sheffield and Rotherham border in South Yorkshire. It has long been a favourite spot for both club match and pleasure anglers in the area. With a total of 90 pegs, each featuring an island to fish from, it stands as one of the largest venues in the Sheffield region.

Fishing Opportunities

The fishery is home to a variety of species including roach, chub, barbel, and carp. Anglers can expect consistent bites throughout most of the year, except in the coldest weather. During warmer months, carp weighing over 100lb are commonly caught. Roach stocks are particularly prolific, making maggots an effective bait. For those targeting chub, chopped worms and casters work well, especially on the far shelf. Carp enthusiasts might prefer sweet corn fished on the bomb along the edge. The best pegs for a day of fishing are numbers 1, 2, 50, 51, 89, and 90, as these areas tend to produce good catches when the wind blows towards the car park side.

Facilities

Straight Mile offers ample parking for visitors, ensuring easy access to the fishery. Club memberships are available for those who wish to enjoy additional benefits, though specific perks are not detailed. Remember to adhere to the fishery’s rules: only meat, corn, maggots, casters, and worms are allowed as bait, fishing must be done with a float, and bolt rigs are prohibited.
