Hintlesham Fisheries

Just spent 3 nights here, staff were very friendly and helpful, great breakfast from the cafe each morning, the whole place is clean and tidy and well looked after, fishing was superb banking a large number of nice tench and carp up to 25lb+, will certainly be returning here .

Stayed here for the Week on Speciman 1 Lake, using the Lodge. Fishing was very hard, only landing the two Fish, 16lb mirror, 23lb Common, both in lovely condition. Cannot praise the Staff and other anglers there enough. Joe the Bailiff was very friendly and helpful, also spoke to Ben the other Bailiff, who again gave adviser freely. I even had my bait Boat repaired by another regular angler down there called Andy, who not only upgraded my system (2. 4) but took the boat home to sort it, and then drove from nr Lowestoft to return it. TOP MAN. Overall a great Fishery to visit, Shower wasn't working, (broken Boiler) but repair was in hand, Lodge was warm and dry, with all the electrical bits, Kettle, Microwave, Toaster and TV. It is a Fishing lodge, not a Holiday one. Nice little Tackle on site, with a Cafe, and all the advise you'd need. Liked it so much, have booked to come back in Sept and Dec this Year, hopefully Fish will play Ball this time. .Moreexpand_more

Staff very helpful and friendly. My family spent a pleasant weekend on the rally field site well kept. Fishing good thanks. Fished bottom lake 1 to 5 oct:.

I've been fishing Hintlesham for three seasons now, mainly mid week on concession on match lake and middle lake. I can say that the fishery is top class and the staff very helpful. I've had some good fish out over the last three years.

Great place to fish, friendly faces and good advice given to all fishermen. Looking forward to the next visit.

Thhis is one of the best lakes I have been to around ipswich staff and location is beautiful.

Another great weekend spent at Hintlesham Fisheries, hope to be back again very soon.

Great place to fish, well looked after and some great fish in the lakes.

Fished here a couple of weeks ago - well kept fishery, friendly owner and bailiff(Joe). Tough days fishing on specimen lake but owner made me aware that fishing wasn't easy at the moment so expectation wasn't too high. Ended up with a nice 13 plus common so was fairly pleased with that. All in all with the lakes that they have there is something for everyone, I would recommend giving it a go.

A lovely well kept place to fish with a nice relaxed atmosphere everyone is really friendly and helpful I take my kids sometimes and they love it I would recommend a try to anyone.

I fish here quite often with my son who is nearly 4 who has fished here with me since he was 18 months old, the lakes are clean and well kept the owner and staff run a tight ship, they are all friendly and share the knowledge you need to catch, the fish are in good condition and are plentiful in all lakes, and with lakes like the match, speci and predator it's easy to target what you are looking for, the bottom lake, the runs lake is my boys favourite as the bites are almost constant. Visitors are made to feel welcome, I do try other lakes but Hintlesham is the one I return to again and again and to hear there are are more 25 plus going in just adds up to the best lakes in the area and the excellent grub helps too! .

Great service! With bacon rolls and coffes available all day, staff are very welcoming and chatty! Is Great days fishing on all lakes with big fish coming out preditor lake a catfish at 54lb 9 and a ghostie from specimen at 20lb 2! Very tidy and well looked after fisheries is great for every one.

This is a great fishery. I love fishing here not only do they have stunning fish but the service you get from Phil and his guys is amazing and very welcoming. Phil the owner will always take the time to make sure you are enjoying your time with them. I can't say enough for this fishery just that if you haven't been yet then you are missing out get down there.

Gorgeous lakes set in quiet area with good head of well looked after fish. Always very clean and theres toilets, tackle shop and if you want hot drinks or food theres a canteen with staff always very welcoming and happy to help.

Only fished here once this year but have visited a few times when mates have fished and its a very well looked after fisherie good facilities well stocked lakes and friendly helpful staff what more could you ask for Lurch.

Enjoyed my many trips to Hintlesham Fisheries. Caters for every angler whether it be specimen carp, match and predator fishing. On-site cafe, tackle shop and male/female toilets. All round decent well managed fishery.

Hadn't been fishing for 20 years but decided to take my two children here as recommended by a friend. Haven't been anywhere else this year since. Excellent on site facilities, shop, WC, shower. The lakes are well presented and plenty of swims. The match and bottom lakes well stocked and ideal for anyone looking to put a bend in their rods.

The staff at hintlesham fisheries always go out of their way to help make your fishing session that bit more pleasurable with their TRUE advice about the stock they hold and how to land them including my personal target for the catfish resulting in a PB catfish landed at 28lb 3 oz. The facilitys are clean and the lakes are well maintained. I would Definitly recommend to anyone wanting to catch some nice fish and have a laugh with the staff aswell. The pukka pies they serve are a must have with any session you are thinking of doing :).

My honest review of hintlesham fisheries is that the owner and manager is honest reliable and cares for his fishery and the people that visit to fish it. Helpful to everyone and nothing is too much trouble when asked. The fishery is excellently maintained and security is paramount. First class service from the cafe and shop etc. In all one of the cleanest and well run fisheries I have visited. All credit to Phil and team. Regards Richard King.

I largely fish the match lake and also have held some matches on this lake. Good lake for a match as fish are evenly spread. Weights to 100lb with average being around the 40-50lb mark. Nicely spaced pegs and well kept. Owner and bailiffs are helpful, friendly and approachable for advice. With cafe, on site bait and toilets what more do you need.
