Welcome to Richworth Linear Fisheries

Probably the best day ticket carp waters in the UK

2013 is a special year for Linear Fisheries; it is 40 years, this year, since we began operations under the name of Linear. It is also an anniversary for Linear Oxford for it is 20 years since Linear became involved in a joint venture with Smiths of Bletchington on their Hardwick site to form Linear Oxford. Since then the Oxford fishery has grown, taking in the Guy Lakes, Oxlease and Hunts Corner Lakes and the two Brasenose Lakes.

Linear started from very humble beginnings on a small water in Bedfordshire and we are often asked how it began and where the name Linear derived. Within the pages of our special edition brochure there is an edited story from the now defunct Carp Anglers Association Magazine which was written by me quite a number of years ago. You may be interested in reading of our origins at a time when carp fishing was still in its infancy and there were very few specialized carp waters in the UK. Our 2013, free brochure can be ordered through this website.

Also within the pages of this website you will find much that you need to know about our Oxford waters, such as how to find us, our rules, what is happening at the fishery in 2013, a multitude of photos showing just some of the fantastic fish caught from the site and much more. Whether you are planning your first trip to the site or are a regular visitor to the Linear waters, in these pages we are sure you will discover something of interest that will help and stimulate you during your fishing trips to our Oxford waters in 2013.

Fish with the stars

In August 2012 the two Brasenose lakes hosted the second 'Fish with the Stars' event in aid of the MNDA charity. Again a number of celebrity anglers gave their time to attend this event and a great time was had by all. You can read more about this in our brochure in a piece by Tim Paisley. There is also information on how you can be a part of this prestigious event in 2013.

Open Day

On Saturday May 11th this year Linear will be hosting an Open Day on the complex – more details of this are contained within this site. Anyone interested in any of the waters [including the syndicates] will be welcome to come along to just look around or seek advice from the Linear Bailiffs who will be attending that day. There will also be tackle stands and some scheduled demonstrations by well known anglers – look out for further details in our brochure.
