Shepherds Way

Brookmans Park

This premiere lake offers great fishing in a picturesque setting, with good parking and toilet facilities. The lake has a prolific head of Carp ranging from 2lb to 25lb, Roach average between 12oz and a 1lb with larger fish not uncommon. The two lakes provide around 40 pegs and in the summer you will find many of these occupied, such is the reputation of this water. The fishery is open through the close season and is worth a visit any time of the year.

Tips and Techniques

Carp will show up in just about any peg, it's purely a case of choosing the right method on the day. Try spraying maggot under a light float (or even no float) on a pole with strong elastic. Bread, sweetcorn in the margins or Carp pellet can account for some of the lakes larger carp. Try caster up in the water for good bags of roach. The maggot feeder can sort out a few Carp when the weather closes in.
