Rycroft Fisheries is a popular fishing venue with both match and pleasure fishermen, many people refer to the fishery as “Hemington”, so if you are confused, they are both the same venue. The fishery is located in Hemington, which is located near Castle Donington on the border between Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

​

The fishery consists of 5 lakes mainly stocked with carp.
Pellet and maggot are the baits to take along here. Clover in particular seems to actually improve as the weather cools, with a glance at old results showing weights up to 44lb taken during the one and only snowstorm of the year!
The Canal Lake is ever consistent, with corn, meat and pellet scoring well in match weights up to 38lb.
On the Carp Lake a remarkable match weight of 37lb was recently recorded- remarkable as it consisted purely of rudd, caught shallow on maggot! Otherwise, feeder tactics are bringing carp up to high teens, with method feeder and maggot the best.
