Specimen Carp Lake
This pond is reserved solely for the use of carp anglers and is the only pond on which night fishing is allowed (subject to having the correct permit). Details of the various permits available and their cost can be found on the membership page.
There is a large stock of specimen carp with most in excess of 15lbs, going to high twenties. The average fish weight of fish caught in 2007 was between eighteen and nineteen pounds with thirty two 'twenties' being taken. The three largest fish caught in 2007 were 25lbs 4ozs, 23lbs 2ozs & 23lbs. A 25 lbs fish has already been caught this year together with an unknown 20!
A group of small carp around three to five pounds has been seen recently, but none of these have been caught yet. The origins of these fish are unknown, but they may be offspring, or perhaps they were washed down from Firsby during the floods.
