Description:

A prolific six-acre runs water in peaceful farmland with easy access to all swims and parking behind swims in dry conditions. The lake was purposely dug for fishing by the present owner.with a single island and depths to 22ft by the dam wall. Carp to 36 lb, with plenty of single figure fish, roach and rudd to 3 lb, bream and perch to 2 lb. Silver fish nets topping 20 lb.

Tactics:

Simple approaches work best. with corn , luncheon
meat. worms and hard pellets all good baits for the carp.
Swims on the dam wall fish well, especially those away
from the road, where there 's only 4-5ft of water. Casting a running Ieger along the margins and introducing a handful of freebies should bring action, or try stalking several swims with a lobworm cast tight to the side. Swims facing the island are also very good, casting tight with small PVA bags of pellets and an 8 mm banded pellet hook bait. Regular catapult-loads of 8 mm pellets will draw in smaller carp for instant sport. For silver fish try whip and maggot feeding quite heavily to get through the hordes of hand-sized skimmers and into better quality.

​
Good Swims:

Casting to the point of the island from the south bank.
