This is a very popular water being close to the City of Coventry. Run by the
city council as a day ticket fishery it offers 100 pegs on the main public bank
and a further 40 on the Linley bank which are usually reserved purely for match
fishing. There are plenty of good bream and roach with some large carp and a
decent head of pike plus the Zander which were introduced illegally many years
ago. It is a shallow lake but is well sheltered from damaging winds. The bream
run big with fish over 7lb common and matches are often won with bags in excess
of 60lb. 100lb pleasure bags are taken frequently. The carp run to 30lb plus but
they are not easy and the pike too grow big with plenty of fish over 20lb taken
every season. There is only one access and some of the best pegs are at the far
end of the water. So its a long walk although its only a maintained walkway so
its not too bad. A trolley is advised. You don't have to go that far as many of
the early pegs also fish well. Day tickets on the bank and season tickets are
available from the warden or the City Council offices. A Close Season is in
