Swindon fishing

We'll be visiting Swindon at the end of the month, can anyone recommend a good spot for an afternoons fishing? (If the Boss lets me ).

Hi Slaphead. Theres a few places i can recommend

Plaums pit. A Small quiet venue, slightly more than 1 acre in size, all species with a nice head of Bream, Crucian and Tench.

Home

Peatmoor Lagoon: 12 acres in size. Again mixed species although there are a few crayfish and terrapins lurking. This lake has a nice mix of different swim types and caters well for the disabled.

Coate Water: I haven't fished here for years and at the moment it looks to have a bit of a weed issue along the damn wall. A larger venue and one i always found a little more challenging. Again mixed species with apparently a small number of large carp, nice size bream and large perch.

there are plenty of lakes in and around Swindon although having fairly recently returned to fishing i've yet to try them all. If there is one you fancy trying that i haven't mentioned then let me know and i'll ask around for the latest info. hope that helps.

all the best

Thank you daji.

I do have accessibility issues, so will check them out.

If you are into commercial venues, then look up Lake Pochard/Ridgeway fishery

Lake Pochard

I am still fairly new to the area but have fished matches there a couple times - easy access if you need that, plenty of fish and an on site cafe etc.

Worth a look.

Good luck,

Looks good, thanks for that.
