Dove

46 pegs

The Dove is 1 acre in size, is situated opposite the Buzzard and has a peninsula positioned out into the lake. The “horseshoe” shaped part of the lake has a maximum depth of 4 foot shallowing up to inches in the margins.

The main “bowl” end of the lake is much deeper with depths up to 6 foot. There are also sunken islands in the middle of this section of the lake.

Fish

• Mirror Carp, Common Carp, Ghost Carp and F1s

• Plenty of Roach, Skimmers, Bream and Rudd

• Also some good sized Perch

Tactics

In the summer, shallow tactics work really well with either casters or pellets. Also don’t ignore the margins which respond very well to groundbait and sweetcorn tactics.

Another great tactic is the method feeder cast on top of the bars with micro pellets and wafter as hook bait.

In the winter, the “bowl” end fishes very well due to the deeper water. A great tactic is to fish maggot feeder in the middle of the lake on top of the sunken islands / bars.
