Golden Carp Lake Fish
Since acquiring the lake in 2015, the owners have worked hard to develop and maintain a healthy and growing stock of pristine fish.
In 2015 the original, unknown, stock was complimented with the introduction of around four tonnes of fish between 4 and 60lb. This included 15 plus fish over 44lb, a common of over 55lb, an impressive 51lb mirror measuring over a meter long, and 20 stunning koi carp!
Subsequent and ongoing stockings (including several 50 and 60lb+ carp and selective removal of over 200 smaller fish), have seen the average weights and top weights of the fish increase rapidly over the past years.
There are an estimated 180 carp in the lake, with an average weight of 42.5lb in 2025.
Catch reports and photos from 2021-2024 show captures of individuals from the “big fish” stock of:
1x 70lb+ fish
6x 60lb+ fish
16x 50lb+ fish
60+ 44lb+ fish
The current lake record is the “BSM” (Big Scaled Mirror) which was caught at 70.4lb in September 2021. It was last recorded at 69.4lbs in 2024, with weights fluctuating between 64lb and its top weights towards the end of the season.
“One Job Bob” is the only resident catfish in the lake, who’s “one job” is to snap up any rogue bream that cross his path. Like the four grass carp, he is rarely caught by anglers, but on his last visit to the bank (in April 2024), he bottomed-out the scales at 160lb+!
Anglers need to know that Golden Carp Lake is not a runs-water. The fish are clued-up and the lake, like all waters, can be tricky depending on weather conditions and changes in temperature.
Catch rates can fluctuate from week to week, but with our regular stocking schedule (including a further 48 carp stocked in December 2025), we're sure that this will improve greatly for the upcoming season.
Having never been drained, the lake contains a natural stock of pike, perch, black bass, roach, bream, tench and sun perch. We remove a substantial amount of bream every year and, although ever-present, they can be avoided by using larger baits.
We recommend using a 15mm pellet and a 20-24mm hook bait, both of which are readily available to purchase on-site, these are the favourite of the carp!
