Description: Loco Lake This is one of our larger lakes, an expanse of open water which requires a good 50 - 60 yard chuck to reach the centre. It's deep too with around 6ft of water 6m out, and around 8 - 10ft of water on the long pole line. Home to the largest fish on the complex, it offers some spectacular sport, especially for day ticket anglers. The only real feature in the lake is the small sunken island in the middle, which is identified by the wooden posts sticking out of the water.
