Set in a tranquil location this holiday park encompasses four quality and scenic lakes. They are disabled friendly and well stocked with a good mix of fish including carp over 40lb, tench to 11lb 3oz, golden tench to 8lb, bream to 7lb, crucian carp to 3lb 4oz, roach and rudd to 2lb 8oz plus chub and barbel.
The larger carp and tench are in Kingfisher, the bigger bream in Blue Lake. Crucian holds a good head of it's namesake but very few bigger carp. Leger boilie, pellet, meat or corn for the bigger carp in Kingfisher. Carp will also accept a surface fished dog biscuit or bread crust during quiet times. Float fish corn for the tench. For general mixed catches float fish soft pellet, corn, maggot, caster, bits of meat, paste or chopped worm over little but often loose feed. The crucians will accept float fished bits of meat or corn fished close to the bank.
Tickets are £5 per day across the board, for up to two rods. Tickets on the bank with fishing from 7am to 9pm or dusk, whichever is sooner. Night fishing by strict prior arrangement only at £8. 24-36 hour permits are £18 for up to two rods. Disabled access. Barbless hooks only. No carp in keepnets. Toilet/shower facilities. Food available.
