Caistor Fisheries are situated on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds, just two minutes drive from the roman town of Caistor. There are four ponds to choose from, which are all fed naturally with spring water that comes off the Lincolnshire Wolds. There is ample parking and easy access to most pegs. Caistor Fisheries is also a caravan and camping site (for more details please visit the website).

There are Mens/Womens toilets onsite as well as a small tackle shop which can cater for most needs and fresh bait is always available. The cafe offers freshly cooked meals, hot and cold drinks and a selection of sandwiches. The cafe is also where you will pay for your day tickets.

Fishing is from dawn until dusk. No children under 14 years old allowed on pond c and night fishing is by prior arrangement only (£10.00 for 24 hours).

Please be aware that The Environment Agency helps with the management of the fishery and pay regular visits to the site, so please make sure you have your valid fishing licence with you.

Pond A (10 pegs) is a small pond which has been established for seven years. This pond is stocked with Carp to 10lb, Tench to 5lb, Perch to 2lb, Rudd and Roach to 1lb+ and Crucians.

Pond B (20 pegs) is well stocked with plenty of Carp to double figures, it has been open for four years and has produced several 100lb bags.

Pond C has been open since May 2004 and is well stocked with Bream, Barbel, Chub and Ide. Whilst there are no huge fish in here, they are growing well and 40-60lb mixed bags are common. In late Summer 2007 100 Brown Trout were introduced to help keep down the Bream fry that were tending to be such a problem.

Pond D is the new match pond with depths from 1m to 3m all over. Three sides are fished with ease from box or basket but the remaining side has pontoons to offer comfortable positions. This pond is stocked with all the species found in the other ponds with the exception of Trout and Perch. This pond is currently only open to campers and matches.
