Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Scunthorpe
Fishing around Scunthorpe centres on a mix of productive commercial fisheries, club waters and natural drains, giving local anglers plenty of choice within a short drive of the town. The area is best known for reliable carp and mixed coarse fishing, with consistent year-round sport if you match rigs and tactics to the venue and conditions.
Commercial lakes around Scunthorpe typically hold good heads of common and mirror carp, F1s, bream, tench, roach and perch. In spring, carp patrol the warmer margins and shallow bays; corn, pellets and small boilies fished tight to features produce well. A simple method feeder with a 6–8mm wafter works on most day-ticket waters, especially cast to islands or far-bank shelves. On cooler, clear days, scale down hooks and use softer hookbaits like bread or maggot to tempt wary fish.
Summer is the prime time for bagging up on commercials and local stillwaters. Short-pole or top-kit fishing with micro pellets and soft expanders over a bed of 4mm feed pellets can keep bites coming all day. On busy venues, loose feed little and often rather than big hit feeding to avoid overfeeding pressured fish. Margin fishing becomes increasingly important in the evenings; paste, corn and meat over a heavy carpet of groundbait will draw in larger carp and barbel where they’re present. Surface fishing with dog biscuits or floating pellets is also effective on calm, warm evenings, but keep tackle balanced and hooks sharp to cope with powerful fish close in.
Natural drains and slower rivers within reach of Scunthorpe offer more traditional coarse sport for roach, bream, perch, pike and the odd chub. In autumn, these venues come into their own as shoals of silverfish migrate and compact. A 13ft float rod with a waggler or stick float, light mainline around 3–4lb and small hooks to maggot or pinkie will keep you in touch with bites. Feed modest balls of groundbait laced with hemp and caster to draw fish into the swim, topping up regularly but sparingly as the session progresses.
Winter fishing around Scunthorpe rewards those who fish fine and focus on location. On commercials, F1 carp, roach and skimmers remain very catchable by switching to small method or cage feeders, 0.08–0.10mm hooklengths and single maggot, pinkie or a tiny 4mm expander on the hook. Keep feed to a minimum and search the swim to find where fish are shoaled, often in slightly deeper water or along the central track of the lake. On drains and rivers, predator anglers do well with pike using deadbaits such as smelt or roach presented on simple float-ledger rigs near weedbeds, bends or marinas where baitfish congregate.
Throughout the year, success in the Scunthorpe area hinges on careful plumbing, accurate casting and consistent feeding. Look for features such as reed lines, overhanging trees, drop-offs and inflows, and build sessions around them. Keep a selection of hook sizes, shotting patterns and hookbaits so you can adapt quickly as fish behaviour changes with pressure and weather. By staying mobile, fishing tidily and matching tackle to the specific water, anglers around Scunthorpe can enjoy steady, often prolific sport across all seasons.
