Wildfowl

Left untouched for many years, visited only by Bird Watchers, the site is an SSSI with limited access. The lake itself is 12 acres with only 8 swims which have been created sympathetically to compliment the surroundings.

Roughly triangular in shape with 2 islands at its base end there are plenty of depth variations and snaggy margins for the fish to meander in.

Stock wise it's unclear exactly what the lake holds, but confirmed reports of Carp, Tench and Eels will get anglers who are interested in tackling the unknown visiting this lake. The Carp run to just shy of 40lb, Tench believed to be around double figures and eels too over 6lb have been caught in the last 12 months.

Late November and early December 2023 a further 30 carp were stocked. 15 from VS fisheries and 15 from Leney Carp which are from the Redmire blood-strain. The catch reports and the know captures after the first 3 months have shown average weight gain of 20%.
