Linear League 2026

In 2026, the Linear League steps up another level

Linear League 2025 winners

Ten lake bookings across Linear Fisheries’ finest waters — St John’s, Brasenose 1, Brasenose 2, and Hardwick & Smiths — all leading toward a £10,000 cash prize for the champions.

The Linear League is built exclusively for pairs who want to practice, improve, and experience true competitive carp fishing, without losing the social side of the sport.

Every Saturday features a one-hour social break, keeping the atmosphere relaxed, friendly, and a world away from the pressure of most carp matches.

Because nothing beats a red-letter session with your mate beside you —especially when you could leave a few grand richer!
