Heron Lake 3.5 ACRES
HERON LAKE INFORMATION
Heron Lake is located in a quiet secluded area of the racecourse, 3.5 acres of high quality gin clear water and is securely otter fenced all around the perimeter of the lake. The deepest area is around 31 feet, and the contours include a shelf which drops off dramatically down to 30 feet. The lake was depth mapped in March 2019 and a 2D image of this is detailed below.
We understand that Heron Lake was stocked around 1999 with carp and was initially a match lake, but this only lasted a year or so. Since then the original carp stocked have been left alone to their own devices to grow. There are some very special fish in this lake as we have seen them during underwater filming sessions and also basking in the sun amongst the lily pads.
We initially stocked this lake with 50 English carp from Will Groves of Combley Fish Farm from the Isle of Wight and have added to our stock since then with some absolutely stunning hand picked carp. They have been fed intensively on pellet and boilies and the weight gains this last year have been exceptional. We have around 150 carp in Heron Lake, plus an unknown amount of originals. There are currently 6 known thirties, and a high amount of upper twenties in the lake, we expect to see quite a few more thirties gracing the bank this coming season.
Heron lake has 6 huge individual swims, all with their own individual character and a good amount of water to dip your rods in. We have been feeding every swim so the carp are used to swimming around looking for food, rather than being fed in one area of the lake.
Facilities up on Heron Lake include a portable toilet which is serviced regularly, secure designated car parking with security camera monitoring, and more recently a luxurious BBQ Cabin for members use.
There are 19 scheduled race days per season (October - May). Members are not permitted to fish the lakes on these days. This is all detailed in the syndicate members rules and are advised to members on the closed Facebook Group at the start of the season.
