ABOUT THE VENUE
This 65 acre gravel pit is the club's specimen water. With a lower stocking ratio for the water's
size some of these fish have excelled to weights of over 40 pound.
These fish are in mint condition and have provided some terrific photo’s for members. The depths
vary but generally you will find 14 foot in most swims with mainly thick weed and silt on the
bottom With established tree lined banks there is plenty of cover and with a 12 ticket per night
limit there is plenty of water to fish.
Members are allowed to use 3 rods on this water provided the appropriate EA licenses permit.
Night fishing is from allocated swims only and tickets must be in your possession before night
fishing commences.
This water is shared with the sailing club with whom a good relationship has developed over
recent years and we would ask members to bear in mind that the areas marked on the map as out
of bounds means just that.
We would also remind our members that there is no parking allowed in lanes around the lake and
parking is only permitted in designated car park.
