Canal Lake


the carp pond

On the left of the track as you drive down the fishery is the Canal Lake, 250 metres long and 20 metres wide, it is 1.3 acres in size. Depths vary from 4ft to a maximum depth of 10ft. It has 21 pegs with a footpath linking each peg and has a car park at each end.
This is the ideal club match venue which fishes all year round. It has recently been restocked (2003) with 25,000 fish, these include Mirror, Common, Ghost and Crucian Carp, Chub, Roach, Rudd, Bream, Tench and Ide. Pleasure catchs have passed 200lbs and matches have had individual weights in excess of 100lbs regularly. A favoured method in this pond is a maggot feeder tight to the far bank. This often produces nets of chubb between 70lbs to 100lbs, which also provide good nets of fish in the winter.
There are carp to 20lbs in this lake, but most average around 6lbs and there are thousands of stockies. Meat or pellet normally produces the carp, fishing a feeder tight over or the near shelf on the pole.




Watersedge Country Park

The fishery is next to North Lincolnshire Councils 86 acres Waters Edge Country Park. The park provides a haven for wildlife, protecting two sites of Special Scientific Interest.
There are pleasant walkways past eight ponds, with picnic areas and bird hides.
