Our Guide To Fishing In Reading
Sonning Eye Pit is a fishing spot in the Reading area. It is known for its large carp population and is a popular destination for anglers. The pit is about 4 acres in size and is situated on the banks of the River Thames. Rumours are that carp have been caught to 49lb, but that has never been officially confirmed.
If big carp fishing is your thing then check out Farnham Flint Lake. The fish in this lake grow to be large because it is a specimen lake, with there being a good stock of carp weighing 20lbs, 30lbs, and even 40lbs.
Fishing Clubs in Reading
There are loads of great clubs in Reading that you could join. One we would recommend is the Reading and District Angling Association. They have probably the most extensive selections of lakes, rivers and canals in the area. The Kennet and Avon canal is one of our favourites as it’s definitely one of the best canals to fish in the country.
If fishing matches what you are interested in then check out Reading Fishing Club. This club just holds matches across multiple venues and is one you should definitely check out.
