St Johns

About This Venue

St Johns is arguably the most famous day ticket water in the country. This 18-acre gravel pit has proved itself as one of the top day ticket lakes on the Linear site for many years with a majority of the carp over twenty pounds in weight and at least 40 weighing in excess of 30lbs. The lake offers excellent specimen carp fishing with a well-established stock of quality fish.
