Drayton Reservoir is arguably one of the best easy specimen carp and match fisheries of its type in England. The average size for the resident carp is between 12-14lb and the match record stands at over 400lbs for a six hour competition. Drayton is a hugely popular venue that is heavily booked for weekend matches up to two years ahead.

However, despite its popularity, pleasure anglers can always find room to fish, and the abundance of trees and waterside vegetation mean there are some very attractive pegs.

Drayton is unusual in that it is almost completely surrounded by a modern wooden walkway which leads to 123 individual jetty-style pegs which jut out into the water.

Limited night fishing is available at Drayton but pegs must be booked in advance. For the safety of anglers, the water is patrolled by a security company. Because of the stamp of the fish in Drayton, unhooking mats must be used. In addition, anglers should not take metal tins for items such as cat food, luncheon meat or sweetcorn onto the site.
