It’s one of the lakes we all dream of.

Pads, islands, bays and stacks of carp. Pretty as a Monet painting. In the middle of nowhere and completely secure.

It’s perfect for groups of varied levels of ability. Old hands will love it and the less experienced won’t struggle. With 4 swims on the island and the double you can easily supervise inexperienced anglers without having them in your face or water.

It’s a finesse water. Location and accuracy rather than distance will sort out the better fish.

Plenty of action and a photo for the mantlepiece. The mirrors from the 2004 stocking are some of the prettiest fish you'll have ever seen. A good chance of a 30, maybe a 40, plus the unknown.

It's easy compared with what you're used to - but with ample scope for stalking it'll be the working anglers that get the best results.
