We bought the lake in January 2022. The lake has around 150 carp to over 50lb along with roach, rudd, perch, zander and the elusive catfish. We fished the lake ourselves before opening along with friends to see for ourselves what was in our lake. Testing resulted in over 20 carp bigger than 20lbs, 15 carp over 30lbs, 12 over 40lbs with half of these being high 40s and 2 over 50lbs with the largest just under 53lbs (pictures are in the gallery). We opened the lake in September 2022 (please see catch reports below). We also aim to net the lake in late 2023 to remove any carp under 18lb along with silver fish and add stock if required, check in for updates on our social media!
