Brandesburton 3 & 4
A mixed fishery offering year-round sport, with an excellent variety of species and some impressive carp approaching the 30lb mark.
Brands 3 & 4 offers a varied style of fishing, with carp, bream, tench, crucians and a good head of silver fish alongside pike and eels.
The water is particularly known for its carp, bream and big rudd. Two or three of the carp are reported to be reaching around 30lb, with a number of other fish pushing into the upper twenties.
It can fish well throughout the year. Whether targeting the larger carp or simply enjoying mixed fishing, patience and persistence are important.
