Fishery Information
The Blasford Hill Fishery consists of a beautiful 4-acre lake that is completely surrounded by nature. It features reedy bays, a couple of islands here and there, and has its 3 coasts lined with trees.
This fishery is ideal for anglers interested in Match and Carp/Specimen fishing. When it comes to species, the most common ones of this lake are Carp, Bream, and Tench.
