Our exclusive 2 acre Specimen Carp Lake is our most challenging water. If you are a serious Carp angler or someone seeking their first “20” then this is the Lake for you.

The Lake is home to 150 home grown Commons, Mirrors and Ghost Carp that have been selected for their quality, fast growth rate and individual scale patterns. The Carp currently average around
17 lbs with at least 25 over 20 lbs of which 4 of these are over 25 lbs. The biggest of these is currently “Yogi” who came out pre-spawning at 29 lb +.

There are 7 very well spaced swims which are all on one bank and with strictly no access to the far bank the opposite margins are obvious hot spots. We are happy for you to use baits boats, these give a definite advantage by getting baits under the tree lines. Sorry no under 16’s are allowed on this Lake.

Favoured tactics include presenting good quality boilies, Mainline Cell being the favourite over a bed of pellets or particles, Hi Viz pop-ups on a zig rig consistently catch as do bunches of maggots.

With only 7 Pegs pre-booking is essential on this Lake. Pegs are on a 1st come basis and individual pegs cannot be reserved. We always try to ensure that we leave one peg free to give a choice when you arrive, although this cannot be guaranteed.

If you and your friends would like to book the Lake exclusively
you can do this by paying for 6 pegs, you then get the 7 th free.

A 50% Non-refundable deposit is required for this at the time of booking
please and can be paid for over the phone with a credit/debit card.

If you catch a Carp weighing over 20 lbs during shop opening hours, it would be very much appreciated if you could please ask someone to come and get us so that we can weigh it on our scales and take photo’s for identification purposes and growth records.

For an “official” Carp weight to be recorded they must be weighed on the Fisheries own scales, any Lake records will only be recognized in this way.
