It is within half a kilometre of the main River Suck. The lake is a fairly shallow , typically 5 feet with two deep veins where bank fishing is best. While all coarse fish are present it is primarily a Tench and Pike fishery. There are a good stock of Hybrids, Roach and Rudd also. You can expect Tench to 7lbs and Pike to 25lbs+. Specimen Tench have been recorded over recent years. Angling for Tench is best during night hours. For coarse angling pre-baiting is always recommended for best results. Most Pike are caught trolling dead bait. Spinning from the Island has proved successful using an American 'Jerk' bait. |publisher= ]
