Our Lakes

Lake Pepper was one of the first purpose-built lakes, starting as a trout pond before opening to carp anglers in 2003 and expanding in 2007. It divides into Old Pepper with mature reed beds and New Pepper, which has deeper waters and three islands. Here, anglers can find carp up to 51 lb 12 oz, as well as other species like trout. Lake Christine, at three-and-a-half acres, remains unhurried with a limit of six fishermen at a time, offering various bays and islands for fishing. It hosts common and mirror carp up to 30 lb, alongside grass carp. Windsor Lake, a 30-peg area opened in 2005, attracts day-ticket anglers with species such as tench, perch, roach, and rudd.
