Wildmoor Waters is a privately run, specimen carp and coarse fishery with carp to over 30lb and provides the perfect venue for quality fishing. South Cerney is set in the heart of the Cotswolds, just five minutes away from Cirencester - the roman capital of the Cotwolds.

Wildmoor Waters Carp Fishery consists of 2 lakes which are stocked with around 300 specimen carp [mirrors, commons and ghosties]. There is plenty of cover around the swims, together with stalking areas, creating a wild but well managed environment in which to enjoy your carp angling.

Main Lake: Is about 4 ½ acres, has many well-spaced swims and is stocked with in excess of 200 specimen carp and offers a selection of big mirrors and commons.
Top Lake: Is about ¾ acre, boasts some beautiful fish. Ideal for 2 or 3 people to enjoy a couple of days sport and offers perfect stalking conditions in the summer.

Carp can be taken on a number of types of bait including pellet, boilies, corn and natural baits such as worm have also proven to be successful. The water has a prolific bloodworm population and Cotswold Bait Creations liquid bloodworm is a great dip for most baits. In warmer weather fish can be readily taken off the surface using floating dog biscuits and even bread.
Be prepared to move to showing fish. The fish tend to respond to a new wind and can be caught readily on the end of the wind. Recently, small PVA bags have been successful with the stick method being a paticular favourite. A boilie “popped up” about 1.5 inches has taken a number of good fish, but also, a zig rig fished 2-3 feet off the bottom can prove successful.

Microbarbed or barbless hooks only
Only “safe” rigs may be used
Nuts and artificials are banned
Baits with a high oil content should only be used sparingly
