The three lakes provide many swims and are enclosed with a tree lined grass embankment all around. The smaller of the three lakes, Anaconda 2, has thick reed beds providing cover for spawning fish and up to 10 swims. The larger lakes, Main Lake and Anaconda 1, provide up to 40 swims and ample cover for other coarse fish.
