About the water

Beckerings Park Farm Reservoir at Steppingley, Bedfordshire, is a five-acre irrigation reservoir fished by Luton Angling Club members since 1987. The club has introduced almost all of its fish stock since then. Listed species include carp, bream, tench, rudd, roach, pike and large catfish, with chub, barbel and ide added in December 2018. The page reports carp to 35lb and a catfish around 65lb. The reservoir is open all year and has 27 fishing platforms. Most measure 8ft by 6ft, with a few larger platforms available. Parking is close to the lake, and an on-site toilet requires a club gate key for access. Otter fencing was installed around the reservoir in 2022. Water levels can fluctuate significantly in summer because of irrigation pumping. When levels are low, anglers can fish from the exposed lake bed in front of the platforms. Bivvies and shelters must remain on the platforms, and some larger bivvies may not fit. Only barbless or micro-barbed hooks are permitted. Night fishing is available for up to ten members per night and must be booked in advance by text message, with seasonal limits on consecutive nights. Two rods are permitted during the stated summer period; three rods require a permit upgrade during the specified autumn and winter period. Shooting takes place nearby during winter, although fishing remains open on most shoot dates.
