The Blunham Lake

This is a mature 2-acre lake surrounded by a fringe of reeds. The lake has 20 swims including one we are currently making accessible for the disabled. The lake has its own car park within 20m with the main car park and bait hut being about 500m away.

The lake is stocked with a mixture of smaller coarse fish including: roach to 1lb, perch to 2lb, rudd to 1lb, tench to 6lb, bream to 4lb and carp now reaching 18lb.

This lake fishes well as the water begins to warm up, and is a good starter lake for juniors to be introduced to the sport. During the summer evenings the lake produces a lot of small tench, which have bred on in the lake on their own. Perch are also prolific during the summer months. This lake can be slow during the winter.

Average lake depth is 8ft down to 12 ft in places. Best fishing around the margins using small hooks (18's) and light line (2lb). We have recently introduced a boilie ban on this lake to ensure pleasure anglers can make best use of the water. Bigger carp can be caught on luncheon meat, sweetcorn or possibly dog biscuit off the surface.
