Thornton Abbey Keepnets Rule
There is now a ban of keepnets at
Thornton Abbey
(except during matches)
------------------------------------------------------------
Thornton Abbey Lake is approx 4 acres of
water created on a farm behind the Thornton Abbey itself. This is a very picturesque
venue with plenty of wildlife and no litter
(please keep it that way).
To reach the lake you enter via a farm field
gate on the bend on College road, near
Thornton Curtis. DN39 6TU. If you drive up
to the Abbey bear left then right around the
bends, you will see a sign saying 'Weak
Bridge'. Immediately after crossing over the
bridge is the farm gate on right. (See
picture below). I have spoken to a few
people that have actually gone into the
Abbey grounds where the lady on gate duty
has instructed them where to go!. I hope my
latest details get you there easier? Thanks

The track is a bit soft and muddy during the
winter so be careful and sensible, please
don’t going chewing it all up as this will
create more problems. We are not sure of
what existing stock but we have introduced
some small stock and will monitor the
results as the reports come in. Early signs
so far have been a few Carp cruising about,
a few Tench have been caught and one Catfish
but this will be removed if it gets too big.
At the current time there is one purpose
built wheelchair peg, it is to be used ONLY
by Wheelchair Anglers with a Blue Badge.
PLEASE do not fish from this point as you
will prevent wheelchair anglers
fishing anywhere at Thornton Abbey.
The Pisces club is committed to providing
good access for all anglers and encourage
people of all abilities to enjoy our club.
Deepest Thanks Stu

Our fisheries officer, Simon Mattison had
three hours at Thornton Abbey this afternoon
(11th April) and had 47lb of
Roach/Rudd trying to crack 50lb but ran out
of bait. They averaged about 3/4lb with fish
up to 1 3/4lb. He saw some carp cruising
around as well.
