The lakes covered by this syndicate are Willow Walk Lake at 12 acres and Coot Lake at 8 acres.
| Willow Walk Lake |
| This has 27 swims, 2 are doubles and the rest are singles. We are
developing the lake for specimen carp and catfish fishing. There must be
close to 80 twenties and numerous doubles. We have many known fish and
having thinned the stock out several years ago to get the fish growing. Since then fish have
generally piled weight on to the point where we have had fifteen different thirties
caught and are expecting more to move through this magical 30lb barrier
before the end of the summer 2008. |

This is a very pretty lake and in the last couple of years several anglers
have caught 80 - 100 fish over the season. We have developed Willow Walk as a
specimen lake and members can now look forward to fishing this genuine
thirties water. We will continue to manage the
lake in order to attempt to get maximum growth from the carp, so that more carp
become thirties and hopefully in the future we will be able to offer carp in the
forty lb category. As a member of
Willow Walk you can also now fish for large wels catfish. The largest of which
is hopefully now approaching 70lb. and so far already in 2008 a 35lber has graced the bank.
Like the Virginia lake, there are always swims available on Willow Walk,
because membership numbers are restricted.
| Coot Lake |
| Described by Iain Toombes (Deputy Editor of Improve Your
Coarse Fishing) as one of the most attractive lakes he has fished. You
can get brilliant carp action from high singles to low twenties. In 2008we are
hoping to see our first 25lb+ carp on the bank from this lake. It is thought
there are carp much larger than have been caught in here so far, as several anglers have been
smashed up on 15lb line. There is also tench to 8lb, bream to 10lb+ and roach and rudd to 2+lb. This is a very unusual lake as 8 - 12
carp catches per day are possible during the summer months. |
