Greensands Fishery

Greensands Fishery is a fishing club and pond located in Hatch, Sandy, Bedfordshire. It is a small day ticket fishery situated in the peaceful countryside, just outside Sandy, offering both pleasure and match angling opportunities.

Established 14 years ago by fishery owner Chris Rose, Greensands is a testament to his passion for angling and his commitment to delivering a professional experience for all anglers. The prominent species in the pond are carp ranging from 1lb to 8lb, with an abundance of chub. In spring 2011, the fishery underwent a re-stocking with over 6,000 F1's, roach, and skimmers being introduced into lake 2. This makes it the perfect venue for both pleasure and experienced match anglers, especially during the winter months.

The fishery features 40 pegs split over two lakes, with purpose-built platforms ensuring safe and comfortable fishing. Onsite facilities include excellent and secure car parking, as well as a lodge and toilets for the convenience of anglers.
