Venue Files - Tar Farm Fishery

Boasting no less than five brand new venues for 2022, Linear Fisheries are proud to open the Tar Farm Complex. Having only been test fished to date, there are no favourite swims or preferred spots, this is a new complex where you can be among the first to find what works for a prolific session!

Lake Four
This is a beautiful, well-matured water, and one that Linear believe anglers will instantly fall in love with. At 12 acres, this well-stocked lake is also the biggest on the Tar Farm complex, but also has the fewest number of pegs, only seven! It’s a truly stunning water, where fishing is only allowed from one side, with the opposite side being out of bounds to anglers and left to wildlife and nature.

This water has a good variation in depths and will be the only water at the Tar Farm site where short, medium and genuine long-distance casting will all be available to anglers – it will also be the only lake at any Linear Fisheries site where bait boats will be allowed, a first for Linear!

**Please note** To get to Lake Four you have to drive across a public right of way – please take extra care when crossing this, drive slowly and be vigilant for any walkers and their dogs. This crossing is controlled by two gates that you will need to open for access to Lake Four and MUST be shut behind you.

Common Carp to 28lb
Mirror Carp to 24lb

Lake Five
This cracking water is about nine acres in size and has a wide variation in depth, ranging from shallow corners to notably deeper areas that drop down to about 30 feet. This well-stocked lake is made up of 13 pegs, most of which are easy access and include two that are specifically designed to accommodate wheelchair anglers. As with the other waters at Tar Farm, the pegs have been well spaced for mainly short to medium range fishing, with only very limited longer casting required.

For disabled pegs on this lake we recommend the use of a pod rather than banksticks.

Lake Six
This is the first water that you see as you pull on to the Tar Farm complex. This lovely nine-acre water is long and narrow and has 12 well spread easy access pegs, one of which is designed to accommodate wheelchair anglers.

It is also the shallowest water on the Tar Farm Complex, with an average depth of about six feet and has a good stock of carp. As with most of the Tar Farm waters, the pegs have been well spaced for short to medium range fishing, and there are no long casts required.

For disabled pegs on this lake we recommend the use of a pod rather than banksticks.

Lake Seven
This uniquely shaped, well-stocked water is about nine acres in size and has 12 purpose-built pegs – with most of these pegs being situated very close to either a car park or drop-off point.

There are large variations of depths, ranging from shallow margins to deep clay areas of nearly 40 feet in depth. Again, the pegs have been well spaced for short to medium range fishing, and there are no long casts required.

Lake Eight
At six acres this is the smallest water on the Tar Farm Complex and has eight pegs. Most of these are easy to access and have been well spaced for mainly short to medium range fishing, with only limited longer casting required – and with a smaller head of larger fish stocked, compared to the other Tar Farm waters. There is a nice variation in depths throughout and it will suit short to medium range fishing, with only limited longer casting required.

Common Carp to 30lb
