Coston Lakes is a premium day-ticket carp fishery nestled in the quiet Norfolk countryside near Wymondham. This mature venue offers approximately 8 acres of quality carp fishing across an attractive figure-eight layout, providing anglers with a genuine chance of banking specimen carp in a well-maintained, secure setting. The venue's unique configuration creates varied fishing opportunities, with 14 well-spaced swims offering different approaches and features to target.
The lake is characterised by good water clarity and a predominantly firm lake bed, which makes it suitable for a range of rig presentations. Depths vary from around 4 feet in the shallower areas to a maximum of approximately 10 feet in the deeper zones, giving the carp different patrol routes and holding areas depending on conditions and time of year. The lake bed features natural contours, snaggy areas particularly along the treeline, and several productive bars that the carp regularly patrol. These features provide excellent ambush points for well-placed rigs.
The stock at Coston Lakes is impressive and well-balanced, consisting of a healthy population of quality carp with a good mix of commons, mirrors, and several stunning ghosties. The fish are known to feed confidently, and the venue has built a reputation for producing multiple captures during sessions. Specimen hunters have realistic targets, with numerous fish in the 30-pound bracket and a lake record that stands at an impressive 40 pounds. The average stamp of fish is excellent, making every take an exciting prospect. Beyond carp, the lake also holds a good head of quality roach, some pushing 3 pounds, which can provide welcome sport on the harder days.
Access to Coston Lakes is strictly controlled through a secure padlocked gate system, which can only be accessed during daylight hours. This security measure ensures the venue remains peaceful and protected. All fishing must be booked in advance through the dedicated Facebook group, and anglers are not permitted to enter or leave the site after dark. This system helps maintain the exclusive feel of the fishery and ensures that anglers can fish with confidence in a safe, well-managed environment. The venue's combination of quality stock, excellent facilities, and secure access makes it one of Norfolk's premier day-ticket destinations for serious carp anglers.
