The estate opened in 2017 and had not been fished for the previous 46 years so I was eager to discover its secrets. I quickly discovered a small, healthy stock of prestige carp, undisturbed for many years.
They mostly weigh over 30 lbs. New fish were introduced into the water in October 2017. 120 fish in excess of 40 lbs now populate the lake. So, with this in mind we have undertaken a stocking programme and these new fish were introduced into the water in October 2017. New commons and mirrors adjusted quickly to their new environment and have settled in beautifully. Now there are 95 fish our current lake record is 56 lbs there are also a good head of 40’s 30’s 20’s and some doubles.
