Description: At just over four acres in size this mature gravel pit has been recently totally renovated to provide the LVRPA with a day ticket fishery for new carp anglers or those looking to bag up. Following intensive remedial fisheries work, the lake was stocked in 2006 with 200 Mirror Carp between 2lb and 5lbs. An event on September 2006 shortly after the stocking resulted in 25 fish to the three anglers topped by one of the original mirrors at 251b 2oz now named "Melvyn's Fish", which is currently over 28lbs. Two further introductions have taken place: 40 C3 Fishers Pond Mirror Carp were stocked in early 2007 and recently in May 2008 30 Ben Gratwicke scaley Mirrors of between 5 to 8lbs completed the stocking having been grown-on from C1 in Carp rearing facility. This water is full of features i.e. gravel bars, plateaus, and beds of lily pads. Access from Marsh Lane, Stanstead Abbots.
