Stock
The lake contains a large stock of good sized bream, roach, tench, pike perch and eels. The feeder stream is noted for good sized pike and roach during the winter months. In recent years carp have been introduced through winter flooding further upstream. The club record pike of 25lbs 13ozs was caught in the feeder stream. The record tench and eel were also caught here.

Water Rules
