Walters Lake
Walters Lake
The lake, approximately 4.5 acres and consisting of 3 lanes with a total of 55 pegs, has been designed in such a way that every peg fishes towards an island and hedge planting has divided the pegs into 2’s. Even on very busy days it seems as though you have your own little lake. Please check with the Waterside Cafe/office which pegs are open for use.
The fish stocks have come on over the years, mostly Carp between 8-14lbs with some fish into higher weights. There is also a good head of Tench to 7lb+, Bream to 8lb+, some lovely Roach and Rudd up to 1½ lb+ and the ever present Perch.
When the Carp go a bit quieter in the winter months, the silver fish have a chance to show themselves more and we have had several match weights of 30-40lbs of Roach and Skimmers, even in the depths of the winter.
All matches must be organised in advanced through the office. The gate will be opened at an agreed time.
Please ensure you are aware of, and comply with the fishing rules for Walters Lake.
