Admirals Walk is a 25 acre gravel pit with open bank side and natural, un-built swims. There are numerous underwater features including gravel bars, gullies and dense weed beds. The lake is under the control of Lee Valley Park Fisheries and is only open to their members.

Main species are Pike between 10 - 29lb. The water also contains a good head of specimen Carp, Tench, Bream and Eels. Find the gaps in the year-round weed beds, particularly clear areas, gravel bars and shelves.

Multiple catches of Pike to double figures can be made by fishing lures. The better fish tend to be caught on ledgered dead baits. Wary Carp are easily spooked, a subtle approach is required. Keep off the skyline as much as possible and use bank side vegetation for cover.

Angling is from dawn to dusk only. 'Bait' fishing for Pike is not allowed until 1st October, although the use of lures is permitted from 16th June. Live baits must be caught from the venue. Night fishing is not allowed and day tickets are not available for this site. Permit holders may use a maximum of three rods.

N/B access around the lake can be difficult due to excess water and muddy terrain, particularly during the winter months.

The fishery is controlled as a Day Only Season Permit water, For details on permit availability contact the Fisheries Office or visit the website (http://www.leevalleypark.org.uk/en/content/cms/leisure/angling/admirals_walk/admirals_walk.aspx).
