Welcome to Marshside Fisheries!
---- STOP PRESS. New Lake now open. STOP PRESS ----
The fishery consists of two lakes. One is 2.3 acres and is an old reservoir stocked with Mirror, Common, Hybrid F1, Hybrid F2 and Ghost carp ranging from this year's fry up to 30lbs, Tench varying from half a pound to 7 pounds. Bream are plentiful and we added some double figure fish to our stock in the autumn of 2005. We have also stocked some lake Barbel as well as a good head of Roach, Rudd and Chub. In addition we have added a further 1200 F2 Carp, Bream, Roach & Rudd in March 2007. It is intended that the
'old' lake becomes a specimen lake and that some of the smaller fish will be
moved to the new lake.
The new lake (Scroggins) was dug in late 2006 and covers some 4.5 acres. It has been built with fishing in mind and has two large islands and contoured banks. Its primary function will be as a match lake with 40 swims. It is now fully stocked with about 12,000 coarse fish of varying species and sizes up to about 17lbs for the larger Carp. It is now open for fishing although there is still some on-going work to be done on the swims and the access road.
We also have a large stock pond in which we plan to bring on and rear new stock. This will not be fished.Both lakes are set in a very peaceful, farming environment. As well as the fish stock there is an abundance of indigenous wildlife to see, including both Marsh and Hen Harriers. We take our responsibilities to the environment seriously and expect users of the fishery to do likewise.
