Linford 1 is the flagship water at Linford Fisheries and home to some of the largest carp on the complex. Originally a bird sanctuary, the lake was first stocked with carp in 1993 and has been continuously developed since, now holding fish to 49lb with many more in the 30lb and 40lb range. A large, clear and shallow 22-acre lake with 25 swims, it offers plenty of choice across a variety of features. Stocked with carp, tench, bream, perch and pike, Linford 1 is ideal for variety fishing, larger groups, and anglers looking to target a personal best carp. Members only — accessed from Little Linford Lane with multiple parking options along the lake.
