Fishing at Alvingham Lakes, Lincolnshire
Welcome to Alvingham Fishing Lakes, near to Louth on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.
We purchased the lakes in early 2015 and have now implemented changes and improvements to the fishery for the enjoyment of anglers and for the wellbeing of the fish.
Fishing in the Grass Lake
This is our specimen lake. It is stocked with Mirror carp, common carp, grass carp and koi carp up to low 20 lb’s. There also Roach, Rudd and good sized tench. We also have eels and golden tench . The largest grass carp is called Nelson due to it only having one eye. This is a great fish, it is very smart, but a challenge to catch. No keep nets are allowed on this lake.
Fishing in the Monkey Lake
This lake has 23 pegs. It's a great lake for anglers that like to be catching all the time. It is stocked to the "brim" with Roach, Rudd, tench and carp and the odd eel and gold fish. The biggest carp in here are about 18 lb. Please see the rules.
Opening Times
Every day of the year from 7.30am 'til Dusk.

Self Service Café
The Monkey House self-service café is now up and running. Refreshments, snacks and ice-creams are available to purchase. The monkey house café is where the infamous monkey lived. It also lived during the day on the island, hence the name of the Monkey lake. The monkey has long gone, but has left a legacy of interest and history to our venue.
Nearby Attractions
There is a social club a short walk away. It’s a lovely walk on a summers evening after a hard days fishing. The social club does fine food and beers on a Friday and Sunday evening by prior arrangement.
The historic market town of Louth is just 3 miles away, offering a host of independent shops, pubs, eateries and traditional markets; plus Rushmoor Country Park, a small and friendly country style farm park set in 6 acres of Lincolnshire countryside.
The tow path of the disused canal takes you to Louth town or to Tetney lock. Along the way is the graveyard which is unusual due to it having two churches. You will also spot lots of wild life and enjoy fantastic views.
Alvingham Lakes is a 20 minute drive from Donna Nook, where the seals come up to have their pups each year; and only 30 minutes away from beaches on the East Coast.
