Oxlease Lake - Day Ticket Carp Fishery in Oxfordshire

Oxlease Lake holds the distinguished honor of being home to the record carp for the entire Linear Fisheries complex, establishing itself as the ultimate destination within this world-renowned carp fishing empire and representing the pinnacle of what can be achieved on commercial day ticket waters in the United Kingdom. This magnificent 26-acre gravel pit has earned legendary status not only for its record-breaking fish but also for its extraordinary stock density of over 1,600 carp that creates a unique fishing environment where specimen potential combines with almost guaranteed action throughout every session.

The lake's claim to fame rests on two absolutely stunning fish that have become the stuff of carp fishing legend. The largest mirror carp that exceeded 45 pounds and the absolutely magnificent Big Common that weighed just shy of 53 pounds when it claimed the venue record and established Oxlease as the premier big fish destination within the Linear system. These record fish represent the absolute pinnacle of what Linear Fisheries has achieved through decades of careful stock management, optimal feeding programs, and the pristine water quality that has allowed these incredible specimens to reach weights that place them among the most sought-after carp in the country.

The massive stock of over 1,600 carp creates an extraordinary fishing environment with a density that ensures consistent action while still maintaining the potential for truly exceptional fish that have made this water famous throughout the carp fishing world. The stock composition includes approximately 400 double-figure carp that provide excellent opportunities for building confidence and enjoying regular action, 900 twenties that form the backbone of the fishing experience and ensure that most catches are of genuine specimen proportions, 250 thirties that guarantee specimen potential on every cast, and an incredible 50 fish exceeding forty pounds, with those record-breaking specimens leading the charge.
