The 2017 Winter/2018 Spring saw the start of a make over for this lake

with a large amount of bank rebuilding and new cleaner, larger pegs. Unfortunately the weather was

not kind to us so the remainder of the lake will be hopefully be completed this Winter.

Due to an increase in anglers wishing to try night fishing for the first time,

but either not having the necessary experience or heavier equipment required

to fish our harder Specimen Carp or Cat N' Carp Lake,

we have decided to offer a limited amount of 24 hour permits on this lake.

This will be limited to 4 anglers per 24 hours period, at our discretion,

and will principally be aimed at beginners, parent/child combo's.

Unlike the heavier equipment required for our other Lakes, just a normal large carp landing net will be necessary. A small unhooking mat is advisable.

We are providing the option of night fishing on this lake for a trial period.

If it's not popular or is abused, it will be stopped.

Due to the narrower banks on this lake,

for safety reasons, we reserve the right to suspend this service if its very wet.

For this reason we will not operate a booking diary for this lake.

If you would like to fish a 24 hour session on this lake

Please call us on 01822 610888 after 9am when our shop opens

and we will advise you of availability. No booking available via Facebook.
