At one-and-three-quarter acres in size and accommodating 31 pegs, the New Match Lake opened in spring 2012 after a major reshaping and extensive restocking.

It is now the venue's main match water and is available for use by pleasure anglers when now being used for competitions.

The match record already stands at 98lbs 1oz.

A general mixed coarse fishery, it was stocked with more than 4,500 common and mirror carp from 8oz to 6lbs together with tench, bream, roach and perch.

The bream go to 8lbs and tench to 3lbs.

With a stocking rate of over 2000lbs of fish per acre, this promises to be a great venue for the future.

The lake has a central island at 17 metres from the main bank and a five feet deep marginal shelf.

It is deepest in the channel down the middle where up to 10 feet of water can be found.

Due to its uniform nature the lake can produce from almost any peg with only the corner pegs being an advantage on some occasions.

Top tactics so far have proved to be the short pole when fisahed with pellet, maggot, worm, sweetcorn and meat, particularly in the margins.

Fishing the tip or waggler to island is also proving very productive.

As with the other Fisherwick waters, feed pellets must be purchased from the fishery although these are sold at competitive rates.
