About Menards Carp Fishery

Menards is no longer operated as a members-only water, so anglers can now book single or double swims directly with the fishery. The six-acre lake holds mirror, common and ghost carp, with the fishery currently listing carp above 40lb and pike to 28lb. Sessions include day fishing and 24, 36, 48-hour and longer stays, with winter day fishing for both carp and pike available from 1 November through the end of February. Facilities include a tackle and bait shop, heated toilet and wet-room shower facilities, microwave and charging points, with food deliveries accepted at the car park.

Menards Carp Fishery venue rules

Carp anglers must use micro-barbed hooks, a minimum 15lb main line and the specified large off-ground cradle, landing net and weigh sling. Braided main line is prohibited except on marker or spod rods, and leadcore, non-stretch leaders, naked line and fixed-lead rigs are not permitted. Rods must not be left unattended and bait boats must stay within the angler's designated swim. Pike fishing is booking-only in winter; the predator rules require suitable pike tackle, a wire trace, a specimen net and mat, and barbless hooks no larger than size 6.
