About the Lake
This lake is relatively shallow and the bed is mainly made up of clay with a covering of silt. The average depth is around 1m and fairly even and the swims have good vehicle access via a gravel path.
There are over-hanging trees and reed-lined margins. Mature trees hang down into the water along the forest swims creating a natural looking lake and the old branches that have fallen have been left beneath the canopy creating sanctuary areas.
This lake is prone to some weed in the summer months (the amount dependent on the weather). Although a management programme is in place for this, if you are not confident fishing a lake with weed present then this venue is not for you later in the season. There is nothing that causes anglers' concern in terms of snags.
Whilst there are a few crayfish, these do not seem to cause anglers any problems. There are also some poisson chat present, a species found in many carp lakes across the country. Tiger nuts are recommended as the main bait during May/Jun/Jul/Aug and sometimes later in the season for this reason. You can find more tips for avoiding poisson chat over on the blog here.
All swims are doubles, with the exception of swims 7, 9 and 12 which can also be booked by a single angler if necessary.
Swim 5 is one of the larger double swims on the north end of the lake.
Swim 6 is another large double swim located to the right of the island at around 80-100m. It's the deepest part of the lake as it is located close to the sluice. This is where the old river bed leaves the lake - it lies close to the bank and is fairly easy to find.
Between pegs 6 and 7 lies a small island.
Swim 7 is located to the left side of the island which is a fairly simple cast. There's open water to the front. This swim can be booked as a single or a double swim.
Swim 8 has open water out to the front. Whilst there is plenty of water to fish, this is one of the smallest swims on the lake and more of a squeeze if you both have lots of gear (usually one bivvy will need to be set up further back).
Swims 9 and 10 are both large doubles and have large gravelled platforms built out into the water. Located on the forest side of the lake, there are marginal snags where the trees have fallen in. Swim 9 can be booked as a single or a double swim.
Swim 11 is at the bottom end of the lake, which gives you the southern margin to fish to.
Swim 12 is the first swim you come to when you reach the lake. This is situated in the shallowest end of the lake, with plenty of open water directly in front of you and reed beds surrounding. This swim can be booked as a single or a double swim.
Depending on how you prefer to fish, i.e with or without a bait boat, we suggest that swims 5, 6, 7, 9 & 12 are easy casting areas whereas swims 7, 10 and 11 have some overhanging foliage which means you may find it more difficult to cast, in this case a bait boat would be advantageous.
Parking at swims & campervans
All swims can have your vehicle parked behind them during the week, up to LWB transit sized. For larger campervans we recommend swim 6.
