The River Great Ouse, Lavendon Mill DOWNSTREAM SECTION This Fishery is situated below the now defunct Lavendon Mill which is now used as a Farmhouse on the left hand side of the river between Olney and Turvey.
The Downstream section runs from the downstream boundary of the orchard and extends 3 fields via 2 footbridges to the dry ditch. This stretch is not for the faint hearted as the banks are very steep thanks to drainage engineers! Waders are recommended to be able to fish some swims. The Downstream section below the weir that replaced the original mill is shallower with an average depth of 4', is weedy and has a good flow most of the year and has produced some excellent specimens in recent years. Double Figure Barbel (15lb+ in 2008), Carp and Pike have been caught from the downstream section which also produces bags of quality Roach when conditions are right. Members may not fish from the Lawn and Orchard below the weir (approx 1/4 of a mile) No Day Tickets are available but a Guest Ticket can be obtained from the Fisheries Manager. Night Fishing is permitted click here for more details To see more pictures of Lavendon Mill click here to visit our Photo Gallery
