  Specimen Lake 1:

With a total of 15 pegs this is the most popular water on the complex.
The central reed covered island makes a perfect feature for anglers to fish to to catch any of the variety of species the lake holds, which includes carp (20+ lbs), Koi (12+ lbs), Bream (7+ lbs), Tench (4+ lbs), Barbel, Roach, Rudd, Perch, Gudgeon, Perch and even Goldfish.
Responds well to boilies and hair rigged pellet, but in saying that the traditional waggler and maggot/caster will also catch a few fish.
Pole fishing tight to the island also produces very good bags of smaller 3lb or 4lb Carp to pellet hook baits.

  Lake 2:

This beautiful and natural looking lake has two islands and an abundance of reeds and island vegetation.
The 11 pegs give anglers a chance to catch any one of the generous head of fish it hold, which includes small Carp, Tench, Roach, Rudd, Skimmer Bream and Barbel.
Best method is definitely pole fished tight against the island or reeds with various hook baits over a bed of loose fishmeal based groundbait.

  Lake 3:

With 17 permanent pegs this is a popular water with the club and match anglers and more recently school organised trips.
It has no islands but offers a variety of species that include, Carp from just a few ounces to upper teens, Tench to 4lb, Skimmer Bream, Roach and Rudd. All methods and baits work well including pole, waggler and feeder.

  Stream:

This wild looking stretch of water has been made by widening an old chalk stream that meanders through traditionally grazed marshes and retains many of its original features.
Its 42 pegs contain many species of fish including Carp, Tench, Rudd, Roach, Dace, Gudgeon, Perch, Skimmer Bream, Chub, Barbel and Eels.
A recent addition to the stream is a section for trout fishing with fish to double figures.
The trick to this stream is to find a clearing amongst the weed and feed a pinch of maggot every now and then to attract the attentions of the resident silver fish.
Often using a whip to hand produces plenty of the smaller fish with the occasional small Carp or Tench. Bigger Baits fished to the far bank reeds produces the larger fish.
