In the early 1980s, as the flooded pits evolved into thriving natural waters, the first fish were stocked -laying the foundations for today’s fishery. Over the years, Hibaldstow Lakes has flourished under careful management into a diverse multi-lake complex, each with its own character, from specimen carp waters to traditional tench and silverfish pools. What began as a simple vision for quality angling has become a peaceful, wildlife-rich haven and one of North Lincolnshire’s premier fishing destinations.
