Tansterne
Fishery is a complex of 3 ponds in the hamlet of Tansterne in East
Yorkshire. We are situated approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north
east of Sproatley and 1 mile (1.6 km) south west of Aldbrough.
Our
Fishery is a float only venue and we have a number of pegs available
for disabled anglers with the facility to park within 20 yards of
the fishing pegs.
The three ponds have a total of 48 pegs and we have free car parking
and two porta loos for your use. The fishery is open all year, and
fishing is available from dawn until dusk.
Tansterne Fishing Ponds are also available for match bookings and
charity events – with special rates for large bookings.
Carp Fishing
Carp anglers, we have carp up to 30lb and common carp up to 18lb -
although please remember this is a float only venue and may not be
suitable for those of you who like to fish using buzzers / bait
alarms and ledgers for the big fish.
Coarse Fishing
For the coarse fisherman we have Barbel, Chub, Tench, Ide, Perch and
thousands of ghost carp etc.
General Tactics
In the summer season most baits will work although Maggots tends to
attract the perch.
Corn - pellet - meat - bread - chopped worm - cheese - paste. They
all work
Floating baits are allowed but used on the hook only, with no
freebies as this spoils the swims for other anglers
