As you leave the road at Ringstead Lock on the River Nene, the private track into ‘Ringstead Carp Fishery’ is interrupted by a locked gate – a necessity these days to ensure private, peaceful fishing where you don’t need to worry about an unlocked car, or your unattended gear whilst enjoying a cuppa with a fellow angler in the next swim.
A short drive alongside the river, passing ‘Crackers Meadow’ on your left, brings you to the main car park adjacent to the causeway, which separates the two main lakes. This is the southwest corner of the lake and so is often calm.
A huge amount of work has been done on this fishery to offer members comfortable, high quality fishing.
The track around the lake has also been much improved therefore cars can be parked behind every swim (but unseen across the lake) except for ‘The Causeway’.
‘Application Forms’ for ‘Ringstead Carp Fishery’ are available on request and can also be completed on-line or printed off this site and sent. The cost for a 12 month period is £1000 + a £100 joining fee which is due in December.
Prior to any place being offered it would be necessary for you to attend an interview for which at least one character reference may be required.
‘Ringstead’ is not an easy water. Membership places are reserved for experienced carp anglers only – therefore we cannot consider any applications from anybody under the age of 18.
