This lake was once an old gravel pit which has depths ranging from 6ft down to 40ft, so location is the key to catching on this venue. There are plenty of underwater features to fish to, including bars, ledges and shelves, and during the warmer months there is an abundance of weed in the shallower areas of the lake, which provides plenty of natural food for the Carp.
Not a great deal is known about the original stock but present numbers are now estimated at 120, with a wide variety of Carp ranging from sparsely scaled mirrors to fully scaled mirrors, linears and commons.
Five Acre Lake is a ’Members Only’ venue.
Membership is currently full with a long waiting list, so at this moment in time we are not taking on new members.
