We have very good fish which has not been landed. We honestly don't know what it is. What ever the fish is, its very powerfull. Its been close to the bank but never been seen? It will take all baits and makes its self known two or three times a season.
Lake depths average 5 to 9ft on a bed of firm shingle and peat. The north western end is shallow to 4ft on a silt bed of peat clay and blood worm beds.The extensive network of gullies and clay banks natural springs add to the many lake bed features. 3 secret peat islands hold many fish visable in June before submerging in late Autumn.
