About the water

Langdale Lakes is an adults-only fishing venue at Langworth, Lincolnshire, with two lakes formed from former gravel workings. Lily Lake covers just over 1.6 acres and has been used as a fishery since the 1960s. Its depths range from 3 to 9 feet, with tree-lined margins and lily beds. The stated stock includes mirror and common carp to over 31lb, alongside tench, bream, roach and perch. Willow Lake covers 1.4 acres, with depths between 2 and 7 feet. It holds carp ranging from 3 to 20lb, plus tench, bream, crucian carp, roach and perch. Both lakes offer day fishing at £11 for up to two rods. Resident guests have a discounted first-peg rate of £8 per day. Night fishing is available by arrangement at £20 per session. Day fishing starts at 7.30am from April to the end of September, and at 8am from October to mid-November. Peg bookings can be made by telephone. Anglers must be at least 18 and show their licence, equipment and rig set-up on arrival. Equipment must arrive dry and be dipped before use. Fishing is catch and release, with barbless hooks, suitable padded mats or cradles, a minimum 30-inch carp landing net and a carp care kit required. Pole fishing and surface fishing are prohibited.
