The Lake

​

Lake 8 is around 7 acres in size and has a stock of around 100 carp.  The lake record stands at 49lb 12oz, a lovely mirror with a distinctly chubby face.​  The former gravel pit is rich in natural food and has a tremendous range of features, including bars, gullies and plateaus with depths ranging from a few feet in the margins to deep gullies of 17ft.  There are also a number of snaggy marginal areas to fish to.

The Fish

 

​In addition to the remaining original stock, which are much sought after, a few additional fish have been introduced over the years, and some of them have grown on significantly.  In 2021, some very pretty young fish were stocked, and they are now looking superb in the gin-clear water.
