Small but perfectly formed is certainly one way of describing Oham Lakes in the Lincolnshire village of Maltby le Marsh between Lincoln and Mablethorpe.
Developed to provide day-ticket and longer stay angling for a wide range of coarse fish, Oham has a well stocked tackle shop which is also available on - line; a pleasant cafe which serves hot and cold snacks and a memorable all - day 'Mega Breakfast'; a campsite with a licence for five Camping Club caravans and five tents where facilities include shower, water point and six electric hook - ups; and two of its own spacious static caravan which is available for angling holidays and breaks.

If you want to catch a lot of fish quickly or go somewhere where the children or inexperienced anglers can have a good time - head for The Puddle, the half-acre doughnut shaped water at the far end of the Oham Lakes site.A nice, easy shallow water with about 18 inches around the sides and three feet half-way to the island, The Puddle doesn't have any formal pegs, so you can fish where you want.
