Bills Lake 4

A lovely social carp lake with both double swims on the same bank. The central positioning of the two swims allows you to be close to each other but also gives you plenty of your own water to fish in.

Lake 4 has a maximum depth of 15 feet with a few plateaux and drop offs to fish to and deep margins of over 6 feet. Our deepest lake out of the five. The lake is set in mature tranquil surroundings but is only a few minutes’ drive from the shops and Hypermarket. Positioned on either side of the cabin the two double swims have plenty of room behind them and vehicles can be parked close by. There is no weed or nuisance fish in this lake to hinder your fishing 

The original French carp stock of the lake was completely unknown but we have stocked over the winter of 2016 with over a ton of quality fish to 50lb, and another 40 Carp added in the winter of 2018. Previously the lake was used for duck shooting and had never been used as a carp fishery. Anglers over the past few seasons have produced some stunning catches. The lake holds Mirrors to over 58lbs, Commons to over 64lbs, Grass carp to over 48lbs and CRAZY Sturgeon to over 40 lbs !We have also recently stocked Lake 4 with 10 Koi Carp…… something a little different ! No Cats in this lake. Videos of various fish stockings at different times are on our Billslake YouTube channel.
