Finch Farm Fishery

Please be aware that we are currently unable to take card payments. It's cash only when you come to fish.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just look at this beaut of a crucian that got caught by Luke at the car park end of the main lake today! It hit the scales at 1lb 9.3oz - frustratingly mere whisps shy of the lake record. Luke and his mate hit into a little cloud of crucians this arvo after a slow morning, but this was easily the best of them. What a smasher!

On match days, the car park end of the lake plus the two smaller waters will still be open for general fishing, unless otherwise noted.

Enjoy your time at the lake!

***UPDATE***

After the rain of the last couple of days the ice has mostly gone, so we’re ready to have you back on the swims again!

***ATTENTION***

5 January 2026

As our lakes are now completely frozen, we’ll be closing Finch Farm Fishery until the thaw.

Many apologies to anyone that was planning to come down over the next few days. We’ll keep you posted about any icy developments.

Here’s some more Cat Magic adventures up the Finch!

October Trips to Finch Farm 410lb+ of cats across 3 trips

Just a heads up, troops. Now the clocks have gone back we’ve changed to our Winter opening hours of 7am to 5pm.

We’ve had a couple of new entries over the last couple of weeks, so here’s our new, updated records board! There’s still plenty on there that are easily beatable, so if you catch something that betters any of these, especially the small stuff, be sure to get them weighed and photographed and reported on here!

Our good friend Issa smashed our Mirror record last week with this beaut of a sixteen pounder. Great work ma’am!

We’ve got a match on today (Sunday) at Finch Farm, but we’ve still got plenty of swims available at the car park end for anyone who wants to come down for a bit of a dabble.

The two cat waters have plenty of room too, so come on down!

It’s a lovely early Autumnal day, and we’ve got loads of anglers in - but there’s still plenty of spaces left on all three waters if you want to come and have an afternoon fish!
