This water has been managed under licence by Mick Toomer since 1993 and
since then has been transformed from a "run of the mill park lake"
to a top class fishery with a reputation of being a top day ticket
fishery.
With a 2 acre island, the lake also has neatly kept grass banks, rushes,
reeds and Iris's, plus a wealth of overhanging willows.
On the north side of the island the bank is undercut below the water is
particularly attractive to the chub and the carp.
Although there are no numbered swims the lake will comfortably accommodate
over sixty anglers allowing a good mixed bag from anywhere around the lake
during the warmer months. Its slightly different in the winter when the
tench became less active, and the fish desert the shallower canal stretch to
drop back into the deeper water along the cockle bank.
Determined to be known a "true mixed fishery" some £40,000 has
been spent on stock, which now include Tench to 5lb, Bream 10lb, Roach
1½, Chub 3lb, Crucians 3lb, Carp 22lb.
Other species that can be
found are, Rudd, Perch, Grass carp, Eels, Gudgeon and even
Barbel, Zander, Pike.
