THE LAKE LAYOUT
THE FISH
Fish in the lake include:
Common Carp, Mirror
Carp, Grass Carp, Koi Carp, Crucian Carp,Bream
Roach, Rudd, Perch, Pike, Gudgeon, Sun Perch, Eel and Tench
The lake has 10 purposely
made swims / pegs, sited around the lake for your comfort,
Each peg has a 2M x 1.5M level area for positioning for seating, tackle etc
After purchasing the
lake in June 2010, it was full of weed and lily pads, it was not
fished for many years, so we cleared the majority of the weed and cut back the
lily pads
in the summer of 2010. The lake also contained some very large Carp along with
many other species, such as Pike, Bream, Roach, Rudd etc, these fish are still
present.
We have also added the
following fish to the current lake stock, approximately
300 fish that are designed to give maximum match / day fishing pleasure, the
lake also
has many other fish to a current maximum weight of well over 30lb
*** FISH STOCKING NEWS ***
150kg Mirror and Common Carp from 8oz to 3lb
20kg Grass Carp from 8oz to 2lb
30kg Tench from 1lb to 5lb
So far we have
found the best bait for the carp is a small handful of pellets and a
little corn thrown into the swim, followed by some Sweetcorn on the hook, we
have been generally getting catches of 20 fish in 3-4 hours fishing, sometimes
more!, so great fun and easy for a small competition, or fantastic for the kids,
as
they can go home with some pictures and stories of the one they caught or the
one
that got away!
