There are six swims, with four on the nearest bank. Three overlook the deeper area of the lake – around 12 feet – and the fourth is in the shadow of a large willow near the feature island in the centre. The two remaining swims are on the opposite side of the lake which then tapers to around three feet deep at the shallower top end.

Carp or Coarse/Float fishing for four to six anglers is comfortable if everyone is respectful. There is no need to long distance cast as the lake, is well-stocked with Carp (mirror & common from 15-40lbs), plus decent-sized Roach and Tench.

Indeed, this is really quite a special lake as, until very recently, it had not been fished for over 25 years, has no problem fish, and many of the perfectly marked carp and roach in particular are completely home-grown – and a good challenge as they are wary too!
