Getting There:
Exit the A40 at junction 1. At the roundabout take the first exit onto the A4020 (Oxford Road). Bear left onto the A408 (Cowley Road). Continue on the A408 into Yiewsley and turn right at the traffic light onto Trout Road. Follow the narrow road over the bridge and turn right at the next junction. Parking for Lizard Fisheries is on the left after about 400 yds.

Two man made lakes make up Lizard Fisheries which can provide some awesome coarse fishing, particularly in the warmer months. This is my "local" venue and if I can catch here, anyone can. Main species include carp, bream, tench, roach, rudd and perch. Take a good supply of pound coins with you because tickets are purchased from a ticket machine in the car park. This is a no frills location - no toilets, no shop, no refreshments - but the fishing is so good it hardly matters. You must try this venue - you won't be disappointed. No tins on the venue, no boilies, no sweetcorn, no groundbait. Barbless hooks only, unhooking mat required, no keepnets.

I've been fishing lizard since I was a kid - I'm 25 now so i'm still a bit of one lol. BUT... one thing I have noticed when fishing here is the state of the fish. You used to catch the odd dodgy one with a bit of mouth damage or a ripped fin and I put it down to the fact the lake is always heavily fished. On my last trip however practically every fish I caught was damaged. I almost felt bad catching them. Don't get me wrong here because I'm not necessarily running the fishery down, i've had some memorable days there. Its where I caught my first carp for example, and lets face it everyone remembers their first time lol. Cant really fault the bailiffs either, they rarely miss a trick. Personally I think a bit more responsibility and care needs to be taken by the people fishing, but I suppose that's one of the hardest things to police. The bailiff can't be everywhere after all. That's it rant over. I do like Lizard, if you want to catch bags of carp all day long this is the place for you!

Lizards Lake no1. Read all the comments on this lake (very helpful). The staff were helpful (a bit) but very friendly. I used bread balls, worms, red mags and dough (flour and water mix) it worked. I fished 50cm off top during mid day and got many carp around 5-9 lbs, also I fished bottom on worms and got bigger fish (5lb, 12lb, 9lb and 15lb). The silver fish are too easy, a handful of mags then 2 on a small hook and bingo, roach, perch. 7.5 out of 10 (not the best looking but good for fish). Off again next week but this time i'll get there early as it gets packed after like 10am.

Lizard fisheries 1 - Good venue, full of carp. Had good times at lizard over the years. Caught carp every time (my best 21 pounds 2 ounce common). But in the summer holiday times it is hard to find a peg to fish. Everyone uses boilies (I'm not sure of the rule on this), seen ground bait go in AND worst of all some of the fish are in bad condition. Lots of mouth damage. Maybe they should upgrade the ticket machine so it takes notes as well.

Fished the Lizard 1st time last week and we both had a great day along with David. All of us pulled out fish 10lb plus on every swim - carp, barbel, tench, all in 1st class condition. Well done the Lizard for good housekeeping!

Wow, Lizard Fisheries just gets better and better! I,ve been coming here with my dad, a round trip of nearly 80 miles and absolutely love fishing there. We now fish on lizards 2 which is a great lake, not too easy but a great game of hide and seek with the carp in there. FAB.

It's the first time that I've fished at Lizards in West Drayton - wot a cracker of a day. 6 carp, 2 tench about 50 roach, 10 bream and loads of perch and rudd. Lake number 1 is very easy. All you will need is a bit of bread on a float or red mags - I was catching every time a put my float out there. Lake 2 is easy to catch the small fish in there but its hard 4 the big ones. The biggest carp I had that day was 12 pound 6oz in lake number one. Looking forward to going again.

I have been fishing at Lizards for the last couple of months and cannot believe how prolific the fishing is. My 12 yr old son and I have pulled out a minimum of 12 decent carp, tench or bream every time we fished. A great venue which on a Sunday in particular is a little oasis in greater London. Well done to the owners.

Lizard Lake 1. Fished Monday 4th August. What a fantastic day. Caught 54 carp from 1 to 8lb. Lost at least 10 more. Had nice crucian, 3 tench, several bream and some nice big roach. All on the Pole!!!!!! Like to thank the fishery and staff for a great fishing experience ...

Blooming marvelous: I caught 12, 7 pound plus carp and and a cracker weighing in at 11 pound 12 oz, I ledgered 20 ft out with a pineapple 12 mm pellet from dynamite baits. They were hooked on a size 8 hook. I recommend going. I'd take a couple of heavy floats and fishing out just passed the tree is another good tactic.

Lizard Fisheries - I fish there and got to say it is one of the best lakes I've fished on.

Lizard is the lake to fish - I fish it all the time and have caught carp every time. Float fish 1.5ft from the top with bread and you will catch all day in the summer.
