Swim 1 Swim 1 is in the north east corner of the lake, it is a small swim but can be very productive especially when the prevailing south westerly wind is blowing, drawing the carp down the lake into this food rich corner of the lake. This swim offers a lake margin, weed and lily pads to fish to..
Swim 2 This swim covers a bit more of the lake than swim 1. It is at the shallower end of the lake and has reed covered bars and far margins to fish to. The Carp in this lake love to roam around the bar located at about 30 yards, which offers comfortable range fishing for the angler..
Swim 3 This swim has several features in its lake area, there is a small bay to the right with snags and weed, reed covered bars and margins all providing excellent hiding places for the specimen carp. This swim offers the carp angler a little bit more of the lake to spread their wings...
Swim 4 There is slightly deeper water out in front of this swim, and this includes the sunken island, which is covered by lilies. Also there are several snags in this swim to hold the fish as well.
Swim 5 (the inlet) As the name suggests this is where one of the main springs comes into the lake, which offers the carp in the lake a good level of oxygenated water. This is a great little swim with the main snag island in front of you and bars going left and right.
Swim 6 (the point) A network of channels meet in front of this swim making it a great spot to ambush the specimen carp. Also there are several bars running off the main island to fish to...
Swim 7 This swim has been closed to improve the fishing from swims 6 & 8.
Swim 8 (the overflow) This is a cracking swim with lots of features, there is a bay to the left and the emergency overflow with overhanging trees. In front of the swim there are several bars located at about 25 yards into the lake and the big island..
Swim 9 The first of the platform swims is right in front of the main island, and offers fishing to the marginal shelves and the deepest part of the lake to the left.
Swim 10 (the lifebuoy) Again some of the deepest water lies to the right of this swim some 10ft to 12ft deep. The big island also runs down in front of you with its lily covered bar running down off the end.

Pads Pool This was the first lake we built in 1991, it was stocked with 30 leaney dink strain carp which have since bred very well with the lake now home to hundreds of carp. Also present in the lake are rudd, perch and koi carp. The lake is very mature and has two islands and lots of pads. There are two swims on the lake one each side of the island, offering fishing to the island margins and pads.
