WINTER MAINTENANCE

and thoroughly blade aerated the banks of the lake.

WE HAVE A NEW UNOFFICIAL CATFISH LAKE RECORD OF 41 LB -7 OZ'S
This 2 acre lake has 12 very well spaced swims, and is limited to 10 anglers.
Each swim has it's own designated area of water.
Pegs 4 & 5 are a reservable double peg, which can be great for a social weekend.
This lake has rapidly built a reputation for super, hard fighting fish.
With a stock of around 300 Carp to 26 lb - 14 oz's, including some Grassies to 15 lb+,
and 31 Wels Catfish to 41 lb - 7 oz's, although these have bred well,
so our Catfish population is expanding, with Kits between 1 lb and 4 lbs.
Don't be surprised to catch a Perch, Barbel or Chub either,
as these are left over from when this lake was a match water.
The fish in this lake respond well to heavier baiting, especially carp pellet and fishy or meaty boilies,
so don't be afraid to use a few kilo's in a session.
To improve the carp fishing on this lakein January 2020 we moved 12 large common carp
from our Specimen Carp Lake to this lake, six of the Carp are 'proper' twenties,
4 at 21-22 lbs, 1 at 25 lbs and the biggest at 26 lb - 14'oz's.
The other six carp are between 16 - 20 lbs
hopefully this will give you all something else to aim for.
POPULAR BAITS TO TRY
New Shimano Isolate LM94 liver and fishmeal boilies are banking the majority of catches.
Dynamite Baits Complex-T has seen a recent return to form,
together with Sticky Baits Krill, Bloodworm and Manilla
Nash Instant Action range, Strawberry Crush, Candy Nut Crush, Nash Scopex and Squid, Hot Tuna,
have also accounted for numerous Cats and Carp on the bank.
Mainline Cell, is always a trusty backup.
Prebooked/Prepaid 24 Hour+ Overnight Sessions are available on this Lake.
One non-fishing guest is welcome.
If they wish to stay overnight a £5 camping fee will be charged.
