Description: There are two lakes at Roundwood, the first is the bigger lake shaped like a triangle, there are around 45 pegs on this lake but it is always packed and feels cramped. There is a big weed bed in the middle of the pond which makes Feeder and ledgering difficult. Bread fished at half-depth or pop-up Sweetcorn works (no Boilies). Float fishing produces the smaller fish as the bigger fish tend to back off from the bank. This lake has Carp to 30lb (Biggest Banked 30lb 14oz in 2013) but they average around 3lb, Bream to 5lb, Roach to 1lb 8oz, Perch to 2lb and Tench to 5lb and Pike. The second lake is the smaller lake with about 30 pegs on it (Pole and Waggler Only). There are lots of smaller Carp to mid-doubles along with Tench to 4lb, Roach, Perch and skimmers. Both lakes get hammered day in, day out as you can also night fish the two lakes. The fish are very finicky when feeding, the smaller lake is best in my opinion.
