About the water

Ramsey Brook (Wix) 1 is a 3.5-acre irrigation pond managed by Paxmans Angling Club, beside the A120 between Horsley Cross and Wix. There are 13 fishable pegs, with swims along the A120 bank and the end bank nearest Wix village. Four pegs in the far corner near the bungalow are reached using the Wix 2 access route. Depths vary with the water level, from about 6ft beside the reed-lined margins to around 20ft in the centre. Irrigation use means levels fluctuate, and the club warns of sloping banks and muddy conditions following rain when levels are low. Access along the A120 bank includes two sets of stairs and a gentler slope at the eastern end. The lake holds carp to 15lb, bream to 11lb, tench to 6lb and perch to 3lb, alongside roach and rudd exceeding 1lb. Approximately 2,500 fish were stocked in November 2023, mainly roach, rudd and bream. Fishing is available throughout the year. Day fishing runs from dawn to dusk; night fishing requires a night permit and is not available to guests. A two-rod limit applies, and bait boats are prohibited. Parking is inside secure gates off the track linking the A120 with Wix village. The club recommends approaching from Wix because visibility at the A120 junction is limited.
