Fishery Information
With a total surface area of five acres, St. James’ Lake is a wonderful location for nature lovers. Walking, running, feeding the ducks and geese, and having a picnic in the park are all popular activities for both adults and children. The lake is also home to a bustling fishing club managed by the Brackley & District Angling Club.
The fishery in St. James Lake is a mixed coarse fishery with a thriving population of coarse fish species such as bream, carp, roach, rudd, tench, crucian/hybrid carp, perch, pike, chub, and gudgeon. The depth of the lake bottom is rather consistent with the deepest point measuring approximately 6 feet, the average depth measuring 5 feet, with steep margin drop-offs.
Even though the lake has plenty of reeds and overhanging trees to increase its peripheral activity, the most notable feature of the lake is an island fringed with willows and located at the eastern end of the water body..
The Club runs a junior fishing club during the summer months and offers tuition days for total beginners of all ages. There is a full match program that runs throughout the season to accommodate all of the various forms of angling.
