The Lakes

ARCHIPELAGO LAKE

This tree lined lake is 8 acres in size and rectangular in shape, allowing all sides to be fished with ease.

Straight down the middle of the lake there is a row of tree clad islands giving all anglers several features to fish to, including bars, island edges, narrow gullies and over hanging trees. The islands also provide a good degree of privacy from the other anglers on the opposite bank.

Depths range from 2.5 to 8 feet, we have also created several bars and channels at the shallower end of the lake.

The South side of the lake is bordered by our own dense mature wood. Providing shade during the hottest part of the day, ideal for those who don’t like too much heat and sun.

The lake has twelve purpose built level and safe swims.
ALL of which should accommodate the largest of bivvies!

Swims 1 to 5 are eminently suitable for sun lovers. The shallows at the western end of the lake can be very productive as the water warms up. During certain times of the year there can be some weed growth.

Swims 6 & 7, or 9 & 10, would be ideal for use by any angler who is overseeing a youngster or novice who prefers to fish on a separate swim.

Swims 9, 10, 11 & 12 are under the canopy of the edge of the wood, and ideal for those who prefer to keep cool in the Summer.

THE BLUE LAGOON

This lake was netted in late 2022 with the majority of silver fish and small carp removed and bigger carp moved into main lake. Depths range from 2.5 to 7 feet. The lake has a clay bottom with a couple of silt areas and a couple of weed patches. Three purpose built swims have been added. It also has a cabin on the western end with hot/cold running water and basic cooking facilities – please see facilities page for full info.

We consider this a pleasure lake with the stock consisting of around 50 carp up to 20lb. 75% of which are common carp, the rest Mirrors. There are also some silver fish, perch and zander. All catfish were removed when netting in November 2020.
