The lake itself was created around 80 years ago and is both stream and spring fed. It is at the head of a unique ecosystem where rare Freshwater Pearl Mussels live in the pure waters flowing through the lake. At just over 6 acres with depths ranging from 3 to 14ft and with two shallower areas linked by a shallow far bank marginal shelf. This means that both anglers have equal chances of fish and have similar features and areas to target. Each angler therefore has 3 acres of water to themselves with boats provided for each angler to use. Bait boats can also be used for accurate bait placement. The main swim area on the dam can accommodate 2 anglers for a very social fishing session, however, as some anglers like to fish more intimately the designated zones have one other swim each to fish from. We provide barrows for anglers that wish to separate and fish with more subtle tactics.

A small composting toilet which can be used instead of having to retreat to the Gite if you get caught short is located at the dam. I will take anglers to have a look around the lake and then shuttle anglers with the buggy and trailer to their respective swims.
