The Fishery consists of 5 well-stocked lakes catering for everyone from the serious match angler to the weeklong session carp angler wishing to pit his wits against the wariest of carp and even catfish. There is a lake to cater for everybody's taste and preferred method of fishing. The lakes average 4 acres each, which we believe is a nice size, not too big and not too small. There are 2 specimen lakes, a runs water, and two match lakes. Click on the image to the right to see a birds eye view of the fishery.

Woodland Specimen Lake

Tucked away on the edge of Fifehead woods is Woodland Specimen Lake, which is the harder of the 2 specimen lakes, containing 200+ carp and 30 catfish. One catfish of which has never been landed and there are many anglers telling the tail of a big cat that snaps them up. There is a good head of 20lb plus fish and 6 known 30lb plus fish. The depth of the lake is between 8 and 15ft and can prove challenging but in the right conditions can produce some great catches. The lake is about 3.5 acres in size and has plenty of features to aim for. Boilies are the fishes preferred food but they love surface baits in the right conditions. The swims can be reserved over the telephone or the whole lake can be booked for a reduced rate.

Rush lake almost always produces match weights over 100lb in the summer months and also occasionally in the winter months. The great thing about matches on Rush Lake is that everyone weighs in a good bag each time. Pleasure bags sometimes are estimated at 200lb plus on many occasions. There are some great Tench and Crucians to be caught from the lake with the biggest tench so far weighing in at 8lb 11oz with anglers often reporting fish in the 6 - 8lb bracket and 2lb plus crucians are a regular occurrence.
