About the water

Linear Fisheries is a day-ticket carp fishing complex situated near Hardwick Village, Witney. The site manages ten primary day-ticket waters, including the notable Brasenose One, Brasenose Two, St Johns, Hardwick Lake and Smiths Pool, and Oxlease Lake. Syndicate fishing is also available on Gaunts, Unity, and Yeomans lakes. The fishery features a dedicated on-site tackle and convenience store, 'Linear Bait & Tackle,' and a central shower and toilet block located between St. Johns and Manor Farm lakes. Additional toilets are positioned throughout the site. The fishery maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding aggressive behavior and enforces strict fish care standards, including mandatory unhooking mats and a ban on carp sacks. There is no close season, allowing for year-round angling across the complex. TACKL Tip: Use a 'spomb float' attachment when baiting with a spomb to prevent lost equipment from creating snags on the lake bed. A one-rod, ten-hour day-only ticket is listed at £9; other ticket charges depend on the water, session length and number of rods. Confirm which ticket you need before travelling. Book through the venue's own booking page on the Linear Fisheries website.
