Larford fishery offers 250 prime lake pegs and 80 river pegs.The Match Lake offers six acres of superb fishing with bite after bite from a variety of species. Every peg is capable of producing massive weights thanks to the high density stocking of mirror carp, common carp, hybrid F1s, roach, tench, bream, skimmers, chub, perch and rudd.The Specimen Lake is twenty acres of prime angling and stocked with a variety of specimen sized fish including roach to 2lb 8oz, chub to 7lb, bream to 15lb, tench to 9lb and big perch and crucians. However, it's most famous for its huge carp with the fishery record standing at 38lb 8oz. All methods are successful with the waggler pole and feeder accounting for many of the bream and small carp. Boilies, particles and meat are the most successful baits for the specimen carp, and they also work well for the big bream and tench.The float-only Arena Pool opened in April 2005. Large stocks of common and mirror carp have been introduced along with bream, skimmers, roach, rudd, tench and perch. The Arena promises to deliver big weights and one of its many attractions is the fact that it's float only.River Severn - There are 80 prime river swims available within the Larford Fishery. Large bags of barbel, chub, bream, dace, roach and gudgeon are common with the odd specimen sized carp showing on the lower beats. Feeder, waggler and stick float tactics all work and summer catches average an impressive 30lb to 50lb. The resident barbel average between 6lb and 8lb but fish to 12lb have been recorded.
