1 Acre(s)
Again about two acres in size, Broomhill is similar in character to The Bridge with its central island and beds of margin and open water reeds providing plenty of features for both fish and angler.
There are 20 varied pegs to choose from.
For the most part Broomhill is again about six feet deep throughout, shallowing towards the islands but still being about four feet deep around the beds of reeds.
Again holding ghosties, mirrors and commons to about 20lbs, Broomhill has much the same spread of fish as The Bridge, although there are a lot more rudd which can be great fun running as they do to between 12ozs and 1lb.
For the most part these are caught up in the water.
Broomhill also holds more chub than The Bridge, although at between 2lbs 8oz and 3lbs these are not quite as big although they can prove interesting to catch.
These fall predominantly to sweetcorn, casters, maggots, pellet and luncheon meat.
The overhandging willow trees around Broomhill make it a great stalking water, enabling anglers to keep in the shade of the trees and either fish into a selected swim or pick off individual fish just under the surface.
Alternatively you can pick pegs which fish out into open water and up to the island.
Once again, fishing in the margins or up against the island or reeds is the local's favourite technique although plenty of fish are also caught in open water.
Already showing are the large number of small carp to about 1lb which were stocked in the lake in October 2005.
These are providing great sport.
Once more Broomhill has a good head of bream and perch, although the perch are not as big as in The Bridge running to only 1lb 8oz, although the bream can run slightly bigger, up to 3lbs.
The bream tend to fall more to pellet and sweetcorn and again maggots and caster are prime baits for the perch.
The fish in Broomhill can be caught all over and at any depths, although fishing on the bottom is generally good for all species.
In warmer weather the carp come to the surface and can be taken fishing just a few inches deep on pole or waggler.
Whilst anglers can generally get away fishing fairly light with 3lbs to 5lbs line, if targeting the double-figure carp they need to fish slightly heavier as overhanging bushes and reeds can be very unforgiving to light tackle when a determined double is on the other end.
In addition to sweetcorn and pellets, luncheon meat is also a good bait for the carp and bream whilst caster, maggots, pellets, worm and sweetcorn are good all round baits for carp of all sizes and the silver fish.
