About

A lovely 3-acre reed-fringed water situated on the left-hand side of the complex, Willows features 57 well-positioned pegs with convenient car parking available at both ends of the lake and down the left roadside for excellent accessibility. The lake is characterized as open water measuring around 3 feet 6 inches to 5 feet deep in most places, though some corners feature areas of dense vegetation that provide excellent cover and ambush points for larger fish. This is primarily an open water lake that fishes consistently well throughout the year, though certain bays and features perform better depending on seasonal conditions and prevailing wind directions. The lake holds some exceptionally large ghost carp and mirror carp specimens over 20lb which occasionally get caught in the edges or fishing close in during late afternoon and evening sessions, providing exciting opportunities for specimen hunters. However, the main quarry for most anglers are the prolific F1 carp which average a respectable 1lb 8oz, providing non-stop action when targeted correctly with the right approach and bait presentation.

Favoured Pegs

A very fair lake, only the wind direction can usually dictate the fliers in the warmer months. Peg 2 is a very good edge fishing peg, pegs 7 and 50 in this first bay are decent too, although this is a shallow bay and isn't the best in winter. The top bay is the biggest bay and is one of the most prolific areas all year round. Here pegs 22 and 23 on the last point on the left are good. Another popular swim is the point peg 48.
