7 lakes from which to fish

THE BASIN


Large pleasure bags can be achieved from this water. It is a difficult water to learn especially without advice, but can be very rewarding when you have mastered the technique of the sloping bottom hence THE BASIN

CARP - 19LB
BREAM - 3.5LB
TENCH - 4LB
GOLDEN TENCH - 4LB
ROACH - 2LB
RUDD - 1.5LB

EAST LAKE

There are various methods to learn on this lake. An accurate plumb up and a steady feed pattern should give you bites all day! Nevertheless, be warned, with the hard fighting barbel, concentration is a must, take your eyes off your rod and it will be dragged into the depths.

Carp -12,lb
Bream -1.5,lb
tench- 3,lb
Goldern tench -3,lb
Roach - 1,lb
Barbel - 5.5,lb
Chub - 2,lb

THE DOUGHNUT

Very smilar to the East Lake, but with the added bonus of a center island, which if you can get close enough with a float or feeder will give you another option to fish

Carp - 12,lb
Bream - 1,lb
tench - 2.5,lb
Barbel - 6,lb
Roach - 1,lb
Rudd - 1,lb
Perch - 1,lb

Chub - 3lb

ISLAND POND

This is a small-secluded water with an island to one side, ideal to fish to on a pole. The overhanging branches make it difficult to fish to on a rod and line but a feeder round the back of the island is a good option. Large carp are taken mainly from the rear of the island or on the surface against the tall trees.

Carp - 16,lb
Bream - 10oz
Tench - 7,lb
Perch - 2,lb
Roach - 1 lb
Orfe - 1,lb

CLUB CANAL

A bite a chuck on maggot, castor or pinkie feeding the same. Larger carp can be taken on pellet or sweetcorn. This canal is designed for the club angler with a maximum 10-metre pole, but is equally suited to the pleasure angler on rod and line. You will be sheltered with a grass bank to your rear and small coppice to the front.

Perch 2.5,lb

MATCH CANAL

Large stocks of small fish here with the added bonus fish. It is a 17 peg oval water 10 metres wide. Fish to the far side, tight against the bank on the deck or come mid-water and fish up in the water on caster or pellet.
