The Lake
Our specimen lake is a small, intimate venue with lots of character from numerous sets of lily pads through to marginal planting, creating great habitat for all the fish that call it home.
The lake’s depth varies from 3-7 feet when the lake is full. The bottom is a mix of hard and soft clay with some siltier areas around the large sets of pads. The lake lends itself to a simple approach of float fishing on the wagler for great results. The lift method can work very well when targeting some of the bigger tench. Soft hooker pellets, sweetcorn, and mini boilies all work. At the right time of year, a more natural approach can put a few extra fish on the bank.
This is not a “bagging up” venue. You can expect to catch a range of species to specimen sizes, but it is not a bite a chuck venue.
The Stock
We have worked tirelessly to re-stock the lakes with some of the finest specimen fish from some of the UK’s best suppliers, creating dynamic and thriving fisheries. The surrounding area has been beautifully landscaped to enhance the natural beauty and provide a tranquil setting for fishing and relaxation.
