| Description: Goldsworth Park Lake was created in the early nineteen seventies as a drainage and balancing pool as part of the development of the Goldsworth Park housing estate. At approximately 14 acres and depths of up to 13ft, the lake has become home to an abundance of fish and wildlife, offering visitors some excellent angling opportunities.
The lake holds 13 known species, including, Carp, Pike, Bream, Tench, Roach and Perch, all of which grow to a good size relative to their species, with some true specimens lurking in its depths. Not known as a carp runs water, Goldsworth Park Lake does hold a good head of big fish to 30+, both Tench and Bream have been recorded to 10lb+, Pike well into the 20s, Perch to 4lb and Roach to well over the 2lb mark, with the possibility of a three pounder on the cards. The lake also plays host to some boating activities, which have no effect on the fish or fishing, in-fact come the warm weather the margins offer the best sport, well away from any craft that tend to use the open water. |
