The Back Lake was originally developed as a Match fishery, but has become much more of a Specimen water in recent years. The original stock of Carp have grown to good sizes and offer a good chance at that 30lb fish of a lifetime!
The Back Lake is being redeveloped as a Carp fishery to complement the Front Lake, with additional Carp stocked and Bream levels reduced, the lake now offers a good head of 20lb+ fish.
Both lakes hold Eels to 6lb+ and the Back Lake has been stocked with Pike and can be an interesting Winter venue for these species.
Carp fishing on this venue can be very rewarding with exceptional specimens falling to the obvious bottom tactics. Recent stockings have added some new fish that are happier to grace anglers nets, but the water is easily classified as a challenge!
Use bottom tactics to present baits on the bars or in the silty gulleys for best results, and margins can be well worth the effort if you are quiet!
There is a good stock of Bream in this pit that are rarely fished for and could give exceptional results on the tip or waggler, well worth the walk.
The Back Lake also contains a good head of Pike and produces some good sport with live baits and anchored dead baits.
