We have access to this bank & signs will be erected very soon to indicate the boundary.

This stretch has not been fished (as far as we know) for some years so expect some hungry fish. I saw many fish topping when I went to view it & some were a decent size so tackle up for some big Bream, Chub, etc.

From Scunthorpe take A18 to Crowle Junction, turn Left onto A161 continue towards Epworth, then Haxey and Graiselound until you reach Misterton. Once in the village look for the Church and turn right before it onto Church Street, you will see Red Hart pub on right; the road bears left then right. (you will see a red box on a post) Then turn right into Carr Lane this will in 200 yards lead to Carnley Road on the right, not much more than a single farm track with potholes!

Continue up here for 2 miles. You will enter a wooded farm complex. 2 houses set back a little & just past them turn right down the side of big steel shed, the road takes you though quite a few old farm buildings, old Pig Farrowing pens, these were apparently prison farm buildings. This leads to steel gate & flood bank. Please close the gate after entering. There is plenty of parking space over the flood bank so please park sensibly not to block access for any farm vehicles. Once parked, a short walk leads to quite a steep bank and the ground is heavily trampled by horses so mind your footing. On our visit there were many horses roaming around & 2 even stopped to look inside my van. They are all very good natured & quite keen on apples & Imperial Mints. Please take your time when passing the horses on the track & give them respect.

Thanks
