Brief description of fishery:
This 65-acre gravel pit is the Club’s specimen carp water. With a lower stocking ratio for the water’s size those present have grown to over 50lb. Also worth targeting are specimen tench and pike. The roach and rudd fishing is also excellent with big bags taken in the summer months. All the fish are in mint condition and have provided some terrific sport for members. This is far from being an easy water, but the rewards are fantastic for those able to put the time and effort in. The depths vary, but generally you will find fourteen feet in most swims. Established tree lined banks provide plenty of cover and with a twelve ticket per night limit, there is plenty of water to fish.
This water is shared with the sailing club, with whom a good relationship has developed over recent years. The areas marked on the map as out of bounds mean just that.
In addition to the general club regulations, the following apply to this venue.
Special Regulations
