Of the two lakes the largest are to be found in the Day Ticket (main) lake. The lake has been stocked over the years with prime fish including Carp and Tench. There are also a good head of Chub, Roach Rudd, Perch and Barbel.
In the Match Lake there are also a good head of bream and brown gold fish. Although the size of these fish are smaller than the main lake there are plenty of them. The average size of these fish is between 1 - 3lb, and several bonus fish have also been added. The growth rate of these fish is very good as the water is fed from the Day Ticket Water, and has already shown excellent growth rates.
Note - All the fish stocked have been health tested, therefore anyone introducing or removing fish will be prosecuted.
