Ravenfield Ponds coarse fishery is situated near the village of Old Ravenfield, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. The fishery is situated in a secluded valley that makes for a peaceful day's fishing, away from traffic noise, with beautiful scenery and a large range of flora and fauna, some unique to the site.
The fishery is made up of six fishing lakes that contain tench, crucian carp, bream, roach, rudd, perch, gudgeon, eels, mirror carp and common carp. There are several car parks on site and vehicular access is by key only, making it very safe car parking.
While four of the lakes hold predominantly silver fish there is also a lake that is devoted to specimen carp, with a limited number of night fishing permits available. A sixth pond has a high stock density, holding a large number of small carp in addition to silver fish. This water is also available for match bookings for non members and clubs.
For anyone especially interested in match fishing the club hosts one of the most extensive match programmes around with members only competitions being held almost every week throught both the summer and winter, both at the ponds and on local venues. Two of these matches offer a £500 first prize and are free to enter.
Membership is open to all but is only available on an annual basis. Club members also have free access to all Kilnhurst and District AA waters at Baker's pond, the river Don and the S. Yorks. Navigation Canal.
