Description: Our Carp water called Holbar Lake totals 4 acres of waters. Holbar is an exclusive day ticket water with easy access to 47 pegs. The runs water is stocked with the largest fish on the complex with Mirror and Common Carp up to 27 lbs, Barbel over 7 lbs, F1s, Bream, and silverfish.

Holbar is a vast open water with depths up to 12 ft in parts, and 35 meters to islands but this varies throughout the lake. Popular pegs are on the feature of the lake which is over the bridge onto the island which tends to fish well throughout the year as does fishing in between the islands for large carp. If its big Barbel you are after catching then head to peg 17 which has been nicknamed "Barbel Alley" where they often shoal up.

In November 2019, 27 carp between 10 to 22 lbs were introduced into Holbar lake and have been caught this summer and identified by their scaly patterns!

Anglers tips are to fish banded 8mm pellet with loose feed over the top, a method feeder or boilies can work well.

Holbar used to be two separate lakes (Holbar 1 and 2) however it was redeveloped, combined, depths increased and now fishing has improved on there, even producing the runner up weight in the Fish 'O' Mania Qualifier 2015 by Andrew Bailey for Daiwa Dons weighing in with 101.14 lbs on Holbar peg 16.

Day Tickets: £10.00 per rod (£5.00 for an additional rod, 2 rods max) No Concessions.
