Description
Bonsai Lake
You’ll pass Bonsai as you enter the fishery, this is our showcase water and our most popular for competition angling. There are 85 well-maintained pegs across three acres, 90% of which have an island feature to fish to at a distance between 13m and 30m away, so every single peg is different. Bonsai is between 3ft and 5ft deep.

Favoured Pegs
Pegs 69 and 70 on the point are regarded as the most consistent on the lake, as they have a wide bay to fish into. This is home to a good shoal of proper mirror and common carp. Also pegs 75-78 are very good, as they have a reedy island to fish up to in pole range. Pegs 27 and 28 are noted for proper carp too, on the long pole or bomb towards the island point. Pegs in the 60s are generally favoured too. Pegs 35 to 37 can be solid fishing long pole to the island. In the winter months you’ll find plenty of bites on the early pegs such as 1, 6, 9 and 13.
