Details
Clavering Lakes are a series of five purpose dug fishing lakes, established in 1991. They consist of a specimen carp lake, a match lake, two silver fish lakes and a trout lake.
Specimen Lake
This popular lake has recently undergone some major changes to enable there to be more room for anglers. It has been enlarged to 3.5 acres, allowing for another 10 swims. It is well stocked with common carp, weighing up to 30 lbs, mirror, crucian and ghost carp and was restocked with 27 carp weighing from 17 to 25lbs. when it was enlarged.
Night fishing is available, but must be booked in advance as numbers are limited. Juniors under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
Match Lake
The match lake is a 2.5 acre lake, stocked with perch, bream, rudd, tench and carp and can be booked for competitions. The top match weight is 150lbs and bags of 50-60lbs are not uncommon depending on conditions.
Day tickets can be bought when there is no competition taking place.
Silver Lake
The Silver Lake is a new lake of 1.5 acres, to provide for the fishermen who enjoy fishing the match lake but who don’t want to fish the carp lake on match days. This lake is stocked with perch, rudd, bream, roach, tench and small carp.
Lower Lake
The Lower Lake is a heavily stocked mixed coarse fishery, with selected species from roach through to bream, with golden rudd, tench and chubb. Primarily this is a pole and float angling water which has had the species carefully selected to compliment this type of angling. It will not be stocked with common or mirror carp. It is available for day tickets and for small, intimate matches for 10 – 15 anglers.
