The Viaduct Fisheries is one of the prettiest and most natural commercial fisheries in the country.
Six well stocked lakes nestle in the beautiful Cary Valley.
Constructed in the early eighties, the complex is very mature, with great character.
This includes tree covered islands, lily beds, gullies and many marginal features.
The stock is varied with many carp, including species to 28lbs; these are complemented with a healthy stock of 'silvers', by which we mean an impressive mix of bream, perch, tench, rudd and roach .
Also present are large eels and the occasional chub.
The fishery is professionally managed, fully pathed, with 136 proper timber constructed fishing platforms with plenty of safe car parking and disabled access.
The veranda fronted clubhouse consists of a fully stocked tackle and bait shop (we don’t take card, cash only) and separate ladies and gents toilets.
Oh, don't forget your binoculars if you enjoy the wildlife; check out the ever present kingfishers along with other numerous species of birds and animal life.
Fishing times are from dawn to dusk.
The shop opens at 8:00am at weekends and 8:30am on weekdays.
The orginal coarse lakes, joined by connecting gullies, with plenty of features. Large willow cover island, lillybeds and over hanging trees. This could be described as our specimen lakes, as they contain numerous carp in excess of twenty pounds in weight. These lakes also have an impressive head of silverfish especially bream, skimmers and perch. These provide incredible winter catches when the c
Match Lake provides busy sport due to it's large head of medium sized carp and F1's that always seem willing to feed. Casting tight to the large central island will provide plenty of action; but don't ignore the corners. These reeded margins can be stacked with fish! Other than carp there is a good head of quality bream, tench, roach and perch.
Lodge Lake is situated just in front of the club house. It's great for a short walk and handy for a pie or a cuppa. Carp wise, they run from two to twenty two pounds so an interesting mix. The willow hung corners always hold plenty of fish during the summer and winter. The wider central area is also a worthwhile 'hot spot' for silver fish.
Cary is our most popular lake due to it's huge head of fit, hardfighting double figured carp; the best touching twenty four pounds. If tench are to your liking then head to 'Scary Cary'. The match men catch nets to eighty pounds of the large olive coloured creatures, ranging from one to five pounds in weight. This lake is also renowned for it's big perch, the best 'stripy' recorded weighed 3 pound
Campbell is a match only water full of four to eight pound mirrors and commons. It has produced hunderds of ton plus match weights, it isn’t rare to see weights up to 300lb plus. Silver fish stocks are similar to Cary with quality perch, tench and bream. This is a pellet dominated water with paste baits being very productive during the warmer months. Caster and worm appears 'tops' for the silvers.
