The largest of the Milton Pools waters at just over three aces in size, Specimen Lake holds 18 pegs.

Incorporating plenty of features including two islands, the lake has been planted with a central bed of lilies.

As on the other lakes, the pegs are numbered so anglers wishing to fish overnight or for 24 hours or longer can book in advance and stipulate which pegs they want to fish.

Specimen Lake fish range from carp to 43lbs, pike to 30lbs, catfish to 45lbs, roach, perch and some beautiful double figure tench.

If you are going for the roach, tench or perch, float fishing usually proves best with maggots, worm, luncheon meat and sweetcorn being the most favoured baits.

Those fishing for the big carp tend to use boilies.
