Brickyard

Broomfleet, East Yorkshire

A tranquil six-acre-plus fishery offering challenging but rewarding fishing, excellent bream potential and an abundance of wildlife.

Brickyard is a peaceful water of just over six acres. It isn’t an easy runs water, but that is part of its appeal. Fish location, preparation and patience can be important, and the venue offers the opportunity to catch fish that aren’t encountered every day.

Bream are one of the water’s main attractions, with genuine specimen potential. Carp, tench, roach, rudd, perch, pike and eels are also present.

The venue is equally enjoyable for members who appreciate their surroundings. Brickyard supports an impressive variety of wildlife and provides a quiet setting in which to spend a day fishing.

Fishing

Brickyard contains a good range of coarse and predator species:

Carp
Common Bream
Tench
Roach
Rudd
Perch
Pike
Eels

Bream are the venue’s standout species, with fish of specimen proportions possible. Bream of around 16lb or more are within the water’s potential.

Feeder and method-feeder tactics can both be effective. Stalking can also produce fish for anglers prepared to watch the water and respond to signs of activity.

May and June are particularly worth considering, although Brickyard can produce fish throughout the season.

Bailiff Advice
“Don’t just cast towards the sun. Spend some time finding the clear spots or ‘roads’, introduce some bait and be patient. If you’re stalking, watch the water carefully and cast to showing fish rather than simply fishing where it’s convenient.”
