The specialist Taswood Carp water mainly fished by Taswood members, day tickets are available, but must be prebooked (max 3 day tickets at a time on the lake unless by special arrangement).

A beautiful, picturesque water with overhanging willows.

The lake is much deeper than Heron with depths from 5 to 15 feet and is about 5 Acres in size.

The bottom is silty with lots of prominent gravel bars.

Single and double swims with various features to cast to in every swim.

The far banks, lily pads and overhanging trees are the most popular areas to fish to.

The swims have been amended with all fishing on the far bank.

The basin swim has been removed and the shallows also moved to the far bank.

This reduced the number of swims but has allowed for greater water for each swim.

The larger specimens reside in Broadwing with over 30 fish recorded over 35 lb this year, over 50 reported thirties and over 200 twenties.

We have recently stocked the lake with some fast growing British carp which will hopefully become the monsters of the future!.

We would classify this lake as a medium to hard water but where the rewards can be magnificent!.

The fish are fairly wise in this lake so a more subtle approach tends to pay dividends.

Broadwing has already yielded two forty pounders with the new lake record caught October 2012 a beautiful common carp weighing 42lb 5oz.

There are several big ghosties, commons & mirrors nearing the 40lb mark as well as the big common at over 42lbs!
