Well, it’s oh-fish-ial! Our 2023 fishing day is on Friday, 14th July, back at Lindholme Lakes near Doncaster. Our fishing day is based on three lakes; Bonsai, Benny's and Loco.
Join us for breakfast in the onsite café from 8 am onwards, where you can draw your peg.
If you want to be e-fish-ent, you can set up before the fishing starts at 10.30 am. There is no rush!
All out is at 4 pm after five and a half hours of carp fishing. (other species are available)
Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and section prizes for each lake.
There will be a £5 option pool on the day; if you feel lucky!
If you would like to take part, please fill out our registration form.
