Windsor Lake is a popular 24-peg pleasure fishing venue known for its productivity and ease of fishing, making it ideal for day-ticket anglers. The lake consistently produces impressive catches and regularly sees match winning weights of 70-80lbs. The Match Lake end can fish particularly well depending on wind direction. The lake is well-stocked with common and mirror carp ranging 3-8lbs with occasional fish to 20lbs, tench averaging 2-3lbs (best to 5lbs), skimmer bream to 2lbs 8oz, roach and rudd to 2lbs, chub to similar sizes, and hard-fighting perch to 3lbs. The water responds particularly well to pole and feeder tactics, with 4-6lb line to size 14-16 hooks recommended. Best baits include sweetcorn, 6mm meat cubes, and hard or soft hooker pellets fished with method or cage feeders. Pellet waggler fished up in the water proves especially effective later in the season when temperatures drop. One rod only as per match/pleasure lake rules, with barbless hooks mandatory.
