There is a central island approximately 13 to 14 metres away. The lake was designed to allow most people with the average length pole to be able to reach the central island. The island is reed fringed with small trees and bushes steadily growing. The lake averages 5 feet deep down the middle and approximately 2 feet deep across to the island. The lake holds, Carp to 9lb, Tench, Ide, Barbel, Roach, Perch, Rudd and Bream. Match bookings are taken on the Poplars lake. Floating baits can be fished on the Poplars Lake.
