Description: The fishery consists of one pool approximately three acres. Well stocked with carp (Mirror, Common, Ghost, Linear) some large Bream and some very nice Roach and Perch. In 2009, Andrew Ellis a well known and respected fishery consultant was brought in to help, after an initial survey and health check gave us advise on how to manage the lake more effectively, and has continued since then to net the lake every year. On Andrews advice we started feeding the fish at certain times of the year when the fish are their most vulnerable i.e. Late autumn and Early spring, we also close for 3 months from December 1st to March 1st and during the spawning period. We have found this has payed dividends not only have we got some lovely healthy fish but they are getting a lot bigger, so much more of a challenge to our regular anglers.
