Croxby Pond is a private stillwater in rural Lincolnshire with a notable place in carp fishing history. Carp have been recorded here since the early 1800s, making it one of the earliest documented carp waters in England, and pioneering angler Otto Overbeck fished the pond from around 1890, landing many of its fish on his own bread paste baits. There is no public day ticket arrangement that we could verify, and the water is understood to be private, so secure permission from the landowner or controlling club before travelling. Expect a quiet, old-fashioned estate-style pond rather than a commercial fishery, and check current access locally before planning a session.
