Barton Broads

Layout and Features

Barton Broads might initially appear as a collection of small waters, but it's actually one large lake with various areas and cuttings perfect for fishing. Covering around 9 to 10 acres, the water typically ranges from 4 to 6 feet in depth, providing plenty of spots to cast your line. At one corner stands the owner’s house, offering a clear view of the lake and showcasing the dedication put into maintaining this fishery. Locals often call it “Barry’s Lake,” so if you're unsure of the directions, asking for Barton Broads by its nickname can be helpful.

Parking and Access

There is plenty of parking available on site, making it easy to bring your gear and get settled quickly. One of the car parks is conveniently located next to pegs designed for disabled anglers, ensuring that everyone has access to good fishing spots. Whether you're participating in a fishing match or enjoying a peaceful day by the water, the parking facilities are straightforward to use.

Fish Species

The lake is home to a variety of fish, including roach, perch, bream, carp, and catfish, with some catfish and pike reaching up to 20 lb. Anglers can use different tactics here, from pole to feeder, and predator methods work well for targeting pike. While Barton Broads isn’t heavily stocked, anglers can still find success, especially when trying to catch the double-digit carp. Many of the pegs are suitable for fishing two lines at once, one near the edges and another further into the lake, providing diverse fishing opportunities.
