Kingfisher

35 pegs

Kingfisher is our most popular water and is situated opposite THE HUT (handy for food and drink orders!). The lake is circa 2 acres in size and has a comprehensive range of fish suitable for all styles of fishing. Kingfisher is shallowest at each end of the lake where there is an abundance of water lilies in 4 feet of water. A ledge runs around the whole lake in the margins before the banks slope gently down to between 5.5 to 6 feet at the deepest.

Fish

• Silver Fish including Roach, Skimmers, Bream, Rudd, Ide, Perch and Hybrids.

• Also a large number of Mirror, Common and Ghost Carp along with F1s.

Tactics

In the summer, margin fishing and shallow fishing is popular all the way around the lake.

Feed little and often with natural baits, e.g maggots and casters to get those silver fish competing up in the water.

Also similar tactics but with pellets will soon see those carp and F1s competing shallow.

In the winter, maggots work best fished on the bottom feeding in conjunction with a little bit of groundbait. There are lots of silver fish to be caught even on the coldest of cold days.
