About the water

North View Lakes at Gedney Hill has three fishing lakes: Specimen, Pleasure and Match. The Specimen Lake holds carp to approximately 45lb, catfish to approximately 30lb and barbel. The Pleasure Lake is mainly stocked with carp, including fish of 15–25lb and others reaching approximately 30lb. The Match Lake has carp from 1–12lb, alongside bream, roach, rudd, tench and perch. Fishing is on a first come, first served basis, with no bookings or reserved pegs. Anglers choose a place on the bank and pay the bailiff when they come round. The venue advises calling to check availability during busy spring and summer Fridays and Saturdays, good weather and bank holidays. Gates open at 7am and close automatically at 7pm; winter day anglers must leave by dusk. Adult day fishing costs £10 for up to two rods on either the Specimen or Pleasure Lake. The Match Lake costs £6 for one rod or £8.50 for two. Concessionary prices are available. Night fishing is offered on the Specimen and Pleasure Lakes, where anglers must be at least 13 to fish and at least 16 to night fish alone. Children require adult supervision and dogs must remain on leads. Specimen and Pleasure Lake anglers need a high-sided padded unhooking mat or cradle and a 42-inch landing net. During drier months, parking beside pegs is permitted on the Match Lake only.
