About
The fishery was established in the early 1970s when the spring fed Pond 1 was cleared and Ponds 2, 3 and 4 were constructed. All the ponds were stocked with carp of varying sizes and Upham Farm has since enjoyed a national reputation among carp anglers for providing tremendous sport. Ponds 5 and 6 were opened in the 1980s and tench were introduced at that time.
In recent years larger carp have been introduced and together with a few other interesting varieties you can look forward to a superb days fishing. In 2008 a new much larger specimen Lake 7 was constructed in the marshy area below Pond 6. This was opened in the Spring of 2009, and is now stocked with over 50 specimen fish, with the best being a magnificent 32lbs 8oz common carp.
