New Catfish Captures
The lake was built in the early 1960s and was used by the previous owner to farm fish for food, it had never been fished seriously before we took it over. The lake is totally private and has closed water status so there is no need for a licence.
Woodpecker Pool is exclusively for your use only for the duration of your stay and is two and a half acres in size and is easily accessible all around and it is in a secluded garden setting.
There is a small boathouse which gives it the feel of an old English estate lake, a small island also adds to the character of the lake.
Around the lake there are several different types of tree including, poplars, silver birch, willow, several different firs, oak, walnuts, figs, pear, apple and cherry.
All of the banks are flat and are grass so it is ideally suited to the less mobile angler, there are no restrictions of where you can fish from, it is also an ideal lake to stalk as the dam bank has a lot of overhanging silver birches but the branches are all clear of the water and the carp love to hide away at times under these in the summer when it is hot.
The lake depth varies from a few inches to approximately 8 feet at it's deepest on the dam side and has a generally flat bottom of gravel and clay with a few silt pockets.
The lake is totally landlocked and is spring fed so the water quality is excellent.
There is no weed or lilies in the lake and virtually no snags.
There are no Poisson Chat or Bream in the lake
As you can see from the above pictures the lake and surroundings change completely through the seasons so there is always something different to see at all times of the year.
