Famous anglers such as Rob Maylin and Steve Briggs honed their Carp Fishing skills on this water and have written extensively about the complex. With an estimated 1200 Carp in 25 acres of water there is always a good chance of catching Carp with the average weight being 24lbs – 26lbs.
We have near on 100 different 30lb plus carp or more, The lake records is currently 44lb 6oz. We also have 10 to 15 different 40lb fish and roughly 12 to 18 fish looking to break through to the 40lb barrier soon.
In 2013 the lake was stocked with 20 fast growing Leney/Dink strain Carp that weighed up to 22lbs, these fish are already growing nicely.
The original Carp are dark and scaley with some real old characters. Commons and mirrors are plentiful and it is safe to say there are very few day ticket waters offering such a top drawer head of English fish to go for.
