Puma Lake
Covering 10 acres and with 40 pegs including 21 specifically built for disabled anglers, Puma Lake is shallower than you might think averaging betwen four and five feet in most of the open water, although deeper holes of up to eight feet can be found where the lake narrows at the far end. It has four islands which make it an interesting and attractive water with plenty of fish to match.
Bridges Lake
Although much bigger than Puma Lake at 16 acres and with 50 pegs, Bridges Lake is similar to its smaller counterpart with common and mirror carp to over 30lbs and a good mix of silver fish. The lake gets its name because four of the seven islands are connected to the bank, which makes a greater selection of swims available to anglers as well as adding interest and variety to the pegs available, es
Mallard Specimen Lake
One of the original lakes on the Monk Lakes site, Mallard is a five acre water with an island to one end and a total of 14 well spaced pegs - although only 10 anglers are allowed to fish the water at any one time.Developed as an out-and-out specimen water for serious big fish anglers, it holds carp to the mid - 40s and catfish which are said to be knocking the door of 70lbs - so anglers need to fi
No.1 Match Lake
At three acres in size with 44 pegs, No 1 Match Lake is a typical modern match venue with a central penninsula russing down the spine of the lake making it an ideal pole, waggler or feeder venue.Because of the variety of species stocked, anglers are never quite sure what they are going to catch next as the water holds most stillwater coarse species including carp, bream, roach, tench, barbel and c

No.2 Match Lake
To be found at the far end of No 1 Match Lake, No 2 Match Lake is again an out-and-out commercial match water with a spine running down the centre of the lake which can be accessed by a metal bridge. This gives the water a total of 46 pegs.Uniform and symetrical in shape, it again has steeply cut banks which drop straight down to a fairly uniform bottom about four feet deep although unlike its nei
No.3 Match Lake
Unlike Nos 1 and 2 Match Lanes, No 3 Match Lake is stocked predominantly with mirror and F1 carp with the mirrors going to over 10lbs and a mass of fish in the 4lbs to 8lbs range. It also holds a good stock of bream to 5lbs which can help push up weights.
No.4 Match Lake
No 4 Match Lake is different from its neighbours in that it was one of the original waters developed at Monk Lakes and has thereford had longer to mature - which is immediately obvious as you come onto the lake with its abundance of bankside trees, shrubs and water plants.Also, unlike its three neighbours, No 4 Match Lake doesn't have a penninsula running down its spine. Instead it has a central i
River Beult
Monk Lakes has a 2,000-metre stretch of the slow moving River Beult which runs around the far side of the site and can provide some interesting sport for those looking for a change from fishing one of the lakes.Whilst the stretch is perhaps best known for its catches of pike in the winter months, interesting sport can be had in the early summer months before the vegetation on the banks and in the
