Thorncross Lake Carp Fishery

About Thorncross Lake Carp Fishery

Thorncross Lake Carp Fishery is a rural day-ticket water associated with Thorncross Farm near Brighstone on the western side of the Isle of Wight. The lake provides challenging coarse fishing and is stocked with carp, roach and rudd, with the venue reporting carp into the 20lb range. Fishing is seasonal, normally operating between April and November during daylight hours. Access is by appointment rather than casual arrival, and the fishery currently asks anglers to provide at least 24 hours' notice before visiting. Day tickets are purchased at the venue, but prices and arrangements should be reconfirmed when making the appointment. Its countryside position makes Thorncross a useful option for anglers searching for carp fishing near Brighstone, Mottistone and the West Wight area. Thorncross Farm also operates a small seasonal campsite, although anglers should check separately whether accommodation and fishing are available for their intended dates. Before travelling, confirm opening dates, ticket prices, permitted tackle, fish-care requirements and any temporary restrictions directly with the fishery. A valid Environment Agency rod licence is also required.
