blanksalot Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Blast from the past, i used to fish here late 80's early 90's, when i wer a lad  By all accounts it's turned into a really good water, both lakes hold some stunning lumps, sure there is a 40 in there !  My son has been a few times last year with his mates, certainly not easy on the big lake, lots  of weed, gin clear, rigs & presentation need to be spot on to coax a bite,  some pics on their fb page,  https://www.facebook.com/RichmondLakes?filter=3  my have a revisit  myself, which side of lincoln are you from mr G ?

mrkgix Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks jay  Is that 12.50 for the 24 hours or just the night like say 7 till 7 sorta thing of that makes sense to you.....seems to be the small lake holds mostly doubles to 20lb ish but bigger ones in front lake ......I am gonna take a ride over this coming week for a look around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanksalot Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 12.50 for 24 hrs but they do and evening ticket too 12hrs 6.50.  A c&p from their page;;  Richmond Lakes-The Front LakeThe front lake is approximately 18 acres with just 11 swims, ensuring you will have plenty to go at from whichever swim you choose. Containing around 450 English born and bred Carp, 100 of which exceed 20lb and 30 over 25lbs, the largest resident being the big common at 37lb with several other back up 30s. The depth of the lake ranges from 6ft to 12ft and there are several bars and plateaus to fish to. Boilie approaches are the favoured method fished to clear areas in the weed with scatterings of boilies around the area. Large beds of particle will also produce fish however it may take longer to get the fish into the area.The Back LakeThe back lake is situated North of the main lake, the lake is around 16 acres with plenty of swims which are around the perimiter of the lake along with several swims on the main island in the centre of the lake. There are approximately 600 Engligh born and bred Carp present approaching 30lbs with plenty of doubles and 20lb+ fish. The fish respond well to most methods and several fish can be caught in a session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carperjake Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Been a few times and always caught from both lakes. Had a few rules that didn't fit with my fishing style so I left it alone. The particle rule was a pain, as was no spodding or baitboats. The gate rule was the straw that broke the camel's back, only open at certain times to allow anglers in and out, beyond that you couldn't leave. I got a serious case of the squits and desperately needed to get some Immodium and the baliff wouldn't let me out! Had to plead with him to let me out, when he did I was out for around 30mins, got my medication, came back and fished on for 24hrs then left 36hrs early. Â It's OK if you have no choice other than day tickets but I'll not go back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkgix Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Heard about the gate rule and to be honest it doesn't really bother me........so will still give it a go I think mainly as it's fairly local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
