Small Lake

This is the lake closest to the carpark and used mainly for pleasure fishing.

It has 31 pegs and less heavily stocked than the big lake but contains much bigger fish.

In here are Mirror Carp, Common Carp, Bream, F1’s and some eels appear to have sneaked in.

The lake was already home to many fish above 10lb and in March 2020 we put in 10 Mirrors between 15lb and 18lb.

In January 2021 we introduced 60 carp (c3’s) between 5lb and 7lb and 5 (C6’s) between 20lb and 22lb.

Anyone may just turn up and start fishing and the bailiff will come round and collect your fee.

We do allow night fishing on some pegs on this lake however we only allow 6 at any one time and you must register to be considered.

The draw is at 9am and fishing starts at 10.15am and ends at 3.15pm.

The café is open from 8am for anyone wanting breakfast (see café menu).

When there are 13 or more anglers, prize money is paid out to the first 3.  Between 8 and 12 anglers, it’s the first 2, and when there are 7 anglers or less, winner takes all.
