It has been rumoured that the lake has been netted and all the choice fish removed to raise money for the council money grabbers

It WAS a Tench and Carp fishery
Big enough Carp and also Tench on the pole (my lad pulled out 30 in one session up to 4lb) but since it was netted it's a sprat water but as for waggler yes but it was only about 4-5 foot deep except right out in the middle

It was netted a while back with most of the fish going into Holmebrook Valley Lake. There are some of the bigger fish still in there and some of the locals have been and had some of the Carp away from Wingerworth Lido a good friend of mine recognised a Lido fish he had caught with a McGregors background. A sad state of affairs to say the least
