| Description:
Hill and Black Lake is a former raised farm irrigation reservoir which was drained re-contoured and landscaped when it was converted into a fishery in 1994. Unlike some lakes that have been converted from farm reservoirs that can some times look sparce and featureless the Fennes has made great strides in landscaping this water and providing features. These features include the soil from a former bank which used to divide the water into two has been used to create the three now well established islands. The depths range from 8ft to 4ft with numerous sub surface features that consist of clear gravel patches, silt gulleys and large weed beds. Again this lake holds the same species of fish as the other two lakes on the Fennes complex. All three lakes contain Roach, Rudd, Bream, Tench, Perch, F1s, Specimen Common and Mirror Carp. There is all weather car parking, well tendered banksides which is also accessable to disabled anglers with well maintained ladies and gents toilets. In addition to the angling The Fennes has a superbly stocked on-site tackle shop which sells a wide range of fresh baits, ground baits, shelf life and frozen boilies incuding Main line, Sticky baits, CC Moore, pop-ups and wafters luggage, pods, alarms, metal wear, trollies, rods, reels, whips and terminal tackle from Korda other major brands . Hot and cold drinks and snacks also available. Along with the tackle shop an on-site catering van is available on weekends and bank holidays The Fennes is open from 7.30am until sunset all year round with the exception of Christmas day and boxing day |
