Welcome To Messingham Sands

  This is the North’s premiere fishing venue. Covering an extensive 56 acres, the superb fishing is set in beautiful surroundings and caters for all types of angler from top flight match men to the dedicated club match angler, pleasure anglers of all abilities and specimen anglers alike who can target a variety of species, Please use this link to view the FISHERY LAYOUT

The Fishery has been established for 24 years.
Our motto is “Run by Anglers for Anglers” and this is reflected in the quality of the fishing, the room between pegs (particularly on the match waters) and the sensible use of rules which both protect and encourage high standards throughout.
 

The site includes two Syndicate Lakes catering for both specimen and all round anglers. Both can enjoy the relative seclusion offered by syndicate fishing. The Syndicate Lakes, known as The Old Match Lake and The Small Pond both offer excellent mixed fishing, containing good sized fish of a number of different species although the Carp fishing appears to be the attraction for the vast majority of members. Both lakes offer excellent all year round sport. Please visit the SYNDICATE LAKES section of this site to read more about these lakes.
 

Our famous match lakes have been providing fantastic match weights for many years with anglers regularly achieving the 100lb barrier and with winning weights to 395lbs recorded. Our conservational efforts and no nonsense approach to providing a good days fishing for all can be seen in the quality of the fish stocks and the level of catches.
Please visit the MATCH LAKES section of this site to read more about these lakes.
 

Our three Day Ticket Waters are hugely popular throughout the whole region with anglers travelling many miles to sample the superb fishing on offer. The incredibly popular Oak Tree Lake has been producing huge catches to almost any bait for many seasons, with anglers enjoying all year round sport from a variety of species but in particular the large head of Carp.
The North and South Day Ticket lakes offer something a little different for visiting anglers, containing many species of fish to specimen proportions.
You can expect to catch something to remember when fishing on any one of these lakes.
Please visit the DAY TICKET LAKES section to read more about these waters.
