Parking & Access
Car parking: In addition to the main car park there are now several located around the site - however, please do not park on the two causeways.
Description
The Brasside complex caters for all types of still water coarse fishing. Pleasure anglers have taken mixed catches from the Canal and Backwater, whilst the West Lake continues to produce carp to over 24lbs. Pike anglers can now fish all year round, with fish to mid teens being taken.
The Canal Water to the far east of the site is a newly dug and was created with match/pole fishing in mind. Contains a mix of hybrid carp, ide, chub, a few dace? and crucian carp.
Pole tactics at 10m to the far bank have been the favoured with a mixture of baits including maggots pellets & corn. Some carp exceed 5-6lb so you may need to use other tactics to land the odd bigger carp.
The 2014 season had a slow start picking up with the spring season weights of 22lb have been caught in some occasions indicating there are still fish to be caught including Ide/Carp/Roach/Tench/Rudd. Problems with predation slowed the catch rate at times but steps have been taken this year to replenish the stock.
1. No bivvies' or night fishing allowed under any circumstances.
2. Only one rod/pole per angler allowed.
3. No boilie's allowed.
4. All hooks to be barbless.
5. No bolt rigs. (as in the accepted carp style ‘bolt rig’)
