The fishing
The lake has 5 designated swims with wooden huts on each which provide shelter from the weather, storage space for your gear and a place to sleep when night fishing. There are some other more natural swims along the north bank and on the dam.
We allow a maximum of 4 anglers with 3 rods each. The fishing doesn't really require fancy rigs with standard bolt rigs working pretty well. Although man made the lake is very old (pre 1800) and has had little fishing until recently. The bottom is mainly silt with some sandy areas and virtually no weed. There are very few obstacles and the margins are cleared of branches and debris twice a year.
The provenance of the additional stock was thoroughly researched to ensure they are mainly growing fish with excellent potential.
As the lake is fished relatively infrequently the fish are superb quality and fight ferociously making good sport as well as looking great.
