North Lake

The North Lake is Eden’s Lakes number one specimen lake and at just over 5 acres in size is an out and out specimen big fish water.

While it’s the most difficult and more technical lake on the complex to fish… it is therefore not for the faint -hearted. It is very hard to give advice in advance on the North Lake as it is always changing day to day,  week to week but that’s the challenge that we desire for a big fish venue. Dene will always be on hand give you the help, advice and his knowledge & experience as needed. All swims have various features and spots in front of them be it lumps, bumps, holes, silt beds, gravel patches and hard clay/sandy areas, it is also the most rewarding lake, with the average size of carp in excess of 45.00lb+ with several more 60lb+ fish upto 69.14lb and a very very good head of back up 50’s and 40’s and a fair few 30’s to go at. Nice beds of particle and pellets with a few chopped/whole Krill boilies works very well either to tight beds of spombed mix or using baitboats. North lake has 1 bank that has a single, a double and then two more single swims on one bank all made with bulky timbers with layers of hardcore and stone for good drainage and nice soft gravel on top for your bivvies. It is also great as a social bank and there is a natural grass swim for single/double on the back side of the lake. The North Lake can be for single, pairs or small groups to 5 anglers or exclusive bookings.

We have added a few more fish ranging between 30lb to 40lb for the 2018 season that have been grown on our complex to complement an already impressive North Lake stock. We have installed electric charging points behind the main North lake bank swims which are only suitable for charging baitboats/batteries, dvd players, laptops, I pads, mobile phones, for a small fee for the week if required. NOT SUITABLE FOR FRIDGES, FREEZERS or HEATERS so don’t bring them.

All 3 carp fishing lakes here at Eden’s Lakes are fed by a number of sources which include streams and natural springs and were constructed in 1994 as part of a specific plan to create a fish farm that would produce fish for the table. The site is built on very rich agricultural land and is extremely rich in nutrients and natural foods, this is what sets us out from other venues and makes the outstanding weight gains that our fish have seen possible.

The lake beds are made up of mainly clay with several silt and gravel areas that the fish clearly frequent. A marker rod is an essential tool as during the nettings we found there are many areas were the fish have fed hard and created deeper holes on the lake beds and these are also great areas to look out for. 

These rules & regulations are in place to protect the welfare of our fish/fishery and to ensure everyone has a safe and productive time whilst at Eden’s. We have limited the rules as much as possible but they will be enforced and anyone caught breaking the rules will be asked to leave immediately without a refund.

New rules can be applied at anytime by the Fishery Manager Dene. We are a family run venue and are trying to create a safe and well managed fishery.

All end tackle ie complete rigs and line whether it be on a fish or on crack offs that is lost in any of the lakes must be reported to Dene  at the most convenient time, we just like to monitor how many rigs and lost tackle is in the lakes for fish safety.
