About the water

Mallard Lake is one of six lakes at Stanwick Lakes Fisheries, a 46-acre complex in Northamptonshire’s Nene valley. Mallard covers four acres, has 21 swims and depths of 4–9ft. The website lists fish to over 35lb and includes carp-fishing videos specifically about Mallard. The complex is fully otter fenced. Mallard offers day and night fishing without advance booking. Adult day tickets cost £9 for one rod, £14 for two rods or £17 for three rods. A 24-hour adult ticket costs £28 for up to three rods, with concession rates available for juniors and senior citizens. Tickets are purchased on arrival in the tackle shop, where cash and cards are accepted. Toilets and parking are situated close to most lakes. The tackle shop is in the main entrance car park and sells bait, small tackle items and gas canisters, but does not stock live bait. A local takeaway delivers to the site. The fishery opens at 7am throughout the year. Gates are locked at 7pm in summer and 5pm in winter, and day-ticket anglers must leave 15 minutes before locking time. Access is from the eastbound A45, through the entrance at the end of the layby; there is no access from Stanwick Lakes Country Park.
