The Nursery Lake is a mass of bars, snags, lily pads, tree roots and small islands covering approximately 7.5 acres with an average depth of 3 feet.
This venue is largely un-fished although it holds good stocks of mixed fish with a good head of large Carp to satisfy the specimen hunters among our members.
The stocks are generally made up of Roach, Perch, large Bream and the Carp, which all take the usual specimen/match type baits
Stocked with approximately 100 Common and Mirror Carp to 32lb 6oz, with the majority being Commons, but with both Commons up to 38lb + with specimen Bream & Tench and a good number of Perch & Roach as well as some Pike.
Works undertaken previously have included the removal of several large trees from the margins that has allowed more space for not only the anglers but the fish as well. Removing these large snag features has allowed more light in, so intensifying the potential for marginal features.

Carp fishing on this venue can be very rewarding with exceptional specimens falling to the obvious bottom tactics.
Use bottom tactics to present baits on the bars or in the silty gullies for best results, and margins can be well worth the effort if you are quiet!
