About

What is considered by many as one of the most famous waters in the Southeast, The Railway has featured in countless books over the years and has seen some of the best anglers in the country on its banks. This iconic 10-acre lake has depths of 30 feet, savage gravel bars and big weed beds packed full of natural food in the summer months. We estimated there were between 15 and 20 carp left from the original stocking which took place back in the 1970s. This led us to prioritise our stocking program of 60 carp in January 2022, just two months after signing the lease. Following this, a further 15 carp were introduced in December 2024, bringing the total stock to around 90 carp.
