The four acre lake is surrounded by unspoilt farmland in a peaceful
and picturesque valley. The fishery is maintained to a very high
standard with mown banks and native hardwood trees planted around
the perimeter.
The lake is replenished by a spring-fed river via a settlement
pond to maintain the high PH and good water clarity. As a result,
a constant water level is maintained regardless of climatic conditions.
|
|
|
The depths vary from four to nineteen feet. However, as a result
of the water conditions, there is good weed growth. The top five
feet are kept cut, ensuring clear water for the fishermen and
a good nursery for the considerable fly life.
|
Fishing is with floating line only, with single fly.
Maximum size 10.
|
Both Rainbow and Brown Trout are stocked from 1
to 5 pounds in weight, but many grown-on fish are present with
large fish being recorded most months.
The current largest fish weighed in are:
Rainbow: 15lb 10oz
Brown: 10lb 8oz
To ensure a relaxed and pleasurable day's fishing,
the day tickets are limited to twelve at any time.

Price on application.
|
Special arrangements can be made for larger parties
wishing to take the lake for the day.
"The Muddlers" annual fishing day in aid of charity
produced a cheque for £620 for Macmillan Cancer Relief.

 |
Car parking is within fifty yards of the lake so
under normal conditions access to the banks for the disabled presents
no problems.
A fishing lodge is situated in the car park for
anglers' use. A separate building contains toilet facilities and
a "brew-up" area with tea and coffee provided.
There is also a picnic / barbecue area for sharing
meals and fishermen's tales!
|
As we tend to be busy throughout the year, it is
requested that people wishing to fish should telephone and book in advance.
