Lake Advice

The little lake is fishing very well and is a great place to fish with children. We recommend maggots on a size 18 hook. When fishing the Big lake, pellet, wagg, bomb, feeder and wafter are advised. After 2pm, sweetcorn down the sides has proved a success.

Gordon Bennett!

A retired builder has fished our lakes for the last 8 years and we can say that he has fished every peg on both lakes. We have looked to him for advice on many occasions. His speciality is pole fishing, and he is able to target species, ie carp, roach, swimmers etc. In our opinion, he would be the perfect tutor for a novice or even a regular angler to help hone your skills. Gordon has kindly offered to provide this service, and if you would like more details please contact Gordon directly on 07749218810.

Testimonials

“It was the first time I had been to your fishery recently for a match with the lads (as it’s a 2 hour trek for me) but what an awesome fishery it is! There are numerous fisheries around my area (near the Humber Bridge) and I just wish yours was around the corner as I would live on it! Thank you for the enjoyable days fishing”
