It can really put an anglers watercraft to the test, so spend some time looking at conditions before you start setting up. Multiple catches are quite possible using high quality bait, properly presented.

Sandmartin Lake: contains specimen carp and pike and is predominately a predator water which regularly holds Pike matches during the winter. This water has recently come under increasing pressure from carp anglers seeking a sense of solitude as it is very under-fished. Carp anglers fishing Sandmartin Lake have recorded commons and mirrors to over 35lb.

Woodpool Lake: contains small carp and silver fish. Woodpool is small water of about half an acre, perfect if you want your float to dip again and again, stocked with smaller carp, orfe, roach, goldfish and crucians.

Mallard Lake: contains small and medium sized carp. Mallard is a new addition to the fishing lakes at Bluebell, it was originally a large stock pond. It has now been stocked with over 1000 double figure Carp and is set to be Bluebells new ‘runs’ water.

River Nene: contains mid sized carp. A small, idyllic stretch of the River Nene is also available to anglers on the bluebell complex, a surprisingly good head of carp up to 30lb! as well as tench, chub to 7lb, and stacks of silvers.
