About the water

Upper Farm Fishery is a private, one-acre carp and coarse fishing lake near Chinnor in South Oxfordshire. It has 20 swims or pegs and is divided into two ponds connected by a narrow waterway. The lake is spring-fed throughout the year. Graham's Pond reaches a depth of five feet and has 11 swims, including four doubles that can accommodate two or more people. Tony's Pond is up to six feet deep and has nine swims, most of which can be fished from the bank. Fish stocks include common, crucian, mirror, leather and grass carp, with carp ranging from a few pounds to high doubles. Roach, rudd, perch, bream, tench and chub are also listed. Day, night and sessions of 24 hours or longer are available. Anglers can book and pay through the venue's booking page. Advance booking is preferred, although permits can also be bought on arrival from the tackle shop or by scanning the QR code on the fishery notice board. Facilities include a large, accessible car park, toilets, free WiFi and an on-site tackle and camping shop. The shop sells bait, rods, reels and camping equipment, opening six days a week in summer and five in winter. Guests staying in the venue's lodges or Pool House have unlimited fishery access during their stay.
