The lakes’ grounds are full of Oak trees and the actual lakes are surrounded with reeds. There are two lakes in this complex both lakes contain large fish over 20lbs.

TACTICS
A wide range of tactics can be used on these lakes to cater for any type of anglers. The majority of people who fish this lake are specialist carp fishermen so there are alot of boilies put into the water. Good tactics to use for carp fishing is the standard hair rigs and the other various forms of the hair rig. For match fishing I would recommend using the bagging wagler. For those of you who don’t know what the Bagging waggler is - it’s basically a large float with a method feeder on the bottom of the float.
