top lake
For constant action the Top Lake will produce thrills and enjoyment with a good stock of 5lb to 12lb carp as well as smaller and larger specimens. It’s a great place for a family picnic and to introduce youngsters to angling as regular bites will keep them engaged and interested. Equally the more able may want to stalk the quieter margins with a quill float after one of the 20lb+ specimens.
bottom lake
The Bottom Lake is less densely stocked but specimen carp exceeding 20lb feature several times a week with the occasional 30lb+ fish appearing to encourage and improve on ones lake PB. The carp vary from commons to mirrors and even the odd leather. As well as carp this specimen lake holds perch (2lb+) roach, pumpkin seeds and on rare occasions the odd eel. In the last few years we have stocked this lake with tench which are now 2-3lb and enough to enjoy on light tackle
​
Both lakes will reward a variety of angling methods including floating baits. All we ask is that you use barbless hooks and ensure nets and unhooking mats are suitable for purpose as fish care should always be of paramount importance.
​
Day visitors are permitted to fish on the lakes. Visitors must pay prior to fishing at the Reception/Bar area.
