About the water

Whitepost Lakes form part of Todber Manor Fisheries at Sturminster Newton in Dorset. There are two lakes, holding carp mainly between 1lb and 5lb, with some larger fish reaching 12lb. Small tench and crucian carp are also present. The page reports record match weights of more than 300lb and states that the match lakes provide 91 pegs available for match bookings, with a minimum of ten anglers. A day ticket costs £10 and must be purchased from the tackle shop before fishing starts. The venue’s page includes a booking availability calendar and gives a telephone number for bookings. The tackle shop opens Monday to Saturday from 8am to 6pm, and on Sundays from 8am to 2.30pm. Fishing is restricted to designated pegs, with barbless hooks only and no keepnets. All fish must be returned where they were caught. Anglers need an EA rod licence, and anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a responsible adult. No litter may be left, and driving on the grass is prohibited. Dogs are permitted at their owners’ risk, provided owners clean up after them. The fishery states that it accepts no responsibility for dogs being lost or harmed on site.
