Winters Lake was established in November 2004 and has an average depth of about 9 feet with a deeper area in the north eastern corner going down to 12 feet. There is also a very shallow bay that is not permitted for fishing to attract wading birds. The lake has 3 islands as well as a good fringe of reeds around the margins plus a few clear patches in mid water. These are all good features to fish to, along with surface fishing in the warmer evenings.

Currently the lake holds a very good head of 30's, around 10, some of which are high 30's. The 40lber is still hidden in the depths, but has not been caught yet this year. Other excellent fish include a 21lb linear and numerous other 20's. As with all of our lakes the fish are breeding, therefore it is possible to land some smaller carp.
