Fishing the Lakes

Wood Lane Lakes in Iver Heath offers a charming setting for anglers looking to cast their lines. This two-lake complex includes a match lake and a specimen lake, each providing unique fishing opportunities. Whether you're aiming to participate in a match or simply enjoy a day by the water, Wood Lane Lakes is a spot worth exploring.

Species Present

The lakes are home to a variety of fish species. Carp up to 32 lb can be found, especially in the specimen lake where you might spot one or two impressive individuals. The match lake has seen carp exceeding 20 lb, with a record catch of over 270 lb in a six-hour match. Additionally, perch weighing up to 4 lb are commonly taken, and there's potential for a Gudgeon record to be set.

Fishing Tips

For the best fishing experience, keep the feed moving by using a carp waggler placed 18-24 inches below the surface. This technique has proven effective in attracting carp and ensuring a productive day on the water. While the lakes are stocked with all major species, it's best not to expect any monster fish beyond the impressive carp already present. Looking ahead, the fishery plans to add netting to the specimen lake to reduce smaller fish, allowing the larger carp to thrive even more.
