Description: Spring and Middle Lake:

Spring and Middle lake are joined up and hold some of the biggest carp on the complex going up to 27lb, but also have plenty of silvers in, and one of the best lakes for perch. Our holiday lodges sit along the edge of Middle lake.

Match Lake:

Match lake is one of our smallest lakes which is the lake to go for if you want a busy day, so ideal for juniorsand beginners. It is stocked with lots of F1s and mostly single figure carp but still the chance of the odd teen figure carp. Plenty of silvers stocked as well.

Lodge Lake:

Lodge lake is the closest lake to the shop, so great for if you want a short walk. It holds a range of fish with carp from 2lb - 20lb and plenty of silvers too.

Cary Lake:

Cary lake is another one of our popular lakes for the bigger carp, it is known as 'Scary Cary' for a reason, and that is the size of the fish! It is a great runs water with fish up to mid 20's and seeing low 20's coming out all the time! Stocked with silvers too and the best lake for the perch going up to 3lb+, along with some of our better tench!

Campbell Lake:

(no pleasure fishing)

Campbell lake is our competition lake so you can't pleasure fishing this one. We run open competitions and also take lake bookings, so contact us if you're interested in either. This lake is heavily stocked with carp averaging 8lb but you'll have a high chance of catching plenty of teen figure fish too with the match record going an impressive 462lb!
