Larford Lakes

Smallest of the three lakes but capable of producing massive weights. Stocked mainly with carp and bream plus roach, hybrids, tench and eels. Weights of 8-28lb typical. Bomb and feeder fishing permitted since 2015 (previously float only). Pellets, meat, corn and maggots preferred hookbaits.

Host of the New Golden Reel event -- the richest and most prestigious final in the country. Stocked predominantly with carp and F1 hybrids, plus bream, roach, tench, perch and eels. Pole and pellet the standard approach; fishing shallow in warm months produces huge weights.

One-mile stretch at Seed Green and above Limcombe Weir. 80 prime pegs. Average summer catches 30-50lb of barbel and chub, with bream, dace, roach and gudgeon also present. Barbel average 6-8lb, recorded to 12lb. Season runs June 16 to March 14.

Largest water on the complex. Famous for its specimen carp to 30lb+ and double-figure bream. Also holds roach to 2.5lb, large perch and big tench. All conventional methods produce; pellet waggler, short and long pole, tip and margin fishing all account for large weights.
