This lake is where the larger carp hang out. Even so, it is still possible to catch up to twenty fish a day. As well as Mirrors, Koi and Common Carp there are also Crucian carp, Perch Tench Roach and Bream. Due to the size and quality of the fish, we do not allow keep nets on this lake. The biggest fish in Home Lake is over 20lb.
In July 2024 an accessibility platform was added for the less mobile angler.
Fishing is restricted to resident only to make it a great venue for a fishing holiday.
This is our largest lake and stocked well mostly with Common and Mirror Carp up to the mid teens but mostly in the 5lb to 7lb range. Also in this lake you will catch Perch, Bream, Tench as well Roach and Crucian Carp up to 3 1/2lb. If you are happy to put in the effort, 100lb of fish can often be exceeded. We restrict the use of keep nets on this lake.
This is an ideal small lake for children looking to fish in a safe and comfortable environment where the fishing is not too difficult and very rewarding. A good confidence booster to ensure your children will develop the skills necessary to ensure success on more challenging waters, whilst appreciating the most magnificent surroundings and distant views. Carp, tench and a roach can be caught in this lake. A perfect lake to give beginners a great fishing holiday.
Google Review, Pigeon Lad,
Our fishing lakes are naturally spring fed from the adjoining hills, which ensures a fine stock of hard fighting Carp some in excess of 20 lbs, plus specimen Roach, Tench, Silver Bream Crucian Carp over 3lb and Perch all in prime condition. We are confident that you will find the lakes and their tranquil and beautiful surroundings to your liking and that you will return again and again, like many of our regulars, to seek out some of our more elusive specimens.
