Richworth Linear Fisheries

Located near Oxford, Richworth Linear Fisheries, this is one impressive location for carp fishing. On our website find a gallery of photos showing just some of the magnificent fish caught.

Whether you are a newcomer planning your first trip to Richworth or a regular visitor to Linear’s waters, we are sure you will discover something of interest that will help and stimulate you during your fishing trips to the Oxford waters

During 2009 and 2010 a great deal of stocking took place on most of our waters and more is planned for 2011. Hunts Corner Lake was opened as an exclusive day ticket water on July 1st 2009 and immediately proved a success with eight thirties to over 39lb being caught in the first few months. Linear believe that with its limited swims, peaceful surroundings and stunning carp, Hunts Corner will prove even more popular in 2011.

Simon Clark from Essex had two fish weighing 28lb 09oz and 28lb 06oz using white choc boilies from the road bank. Fishing near him was Martin Wiffen who landed a 28lb 15oz mirror.
