Description: The 2 acre lake is fairly narrow and oblong in shape - fishing is from one bank only. Depths vary from less than a metre near the feeder stream, averaging 1m in the centre and down to 2.5m at the dam wall end. The lake bed is largely firm with pockets of patchy silt, notably at the dam. The banks are flat and grassy, ideal for setting up a bivvy and a pod. There are no specific pegs, but the bank is fishable along its entire length. Access is by foot, with parking at the entrance to the lake. The whole site is secure and fenced in.
The lake dates back to 1947 and consequently has a good head of original carp. To supplement these fish the owner stocked additional carp in 2002 to a fraction under forty pounds, while several of the seven catfish stocked went over the 40lb mark. So far the lake record stands at 39lb 6oz for a mirror and whilst the average common would be a double, they do run to over 30lb.
