Description
Lakeview is a great place to catch small and medium sized carp, the main quarry ranges from 3lb to 10lb although there a few bigger ones in there (Unconfirmed reports suggest the presence of a carp over 34lb although at the time of writing the fish has not been seen on the bank for several years).

The lake also contains a nice of stock of crucian carp, as well as tench, golden tench and the usual silver fish.

The first thing you notice when approaching lakeview is the large concrete centre piece on which sits a small tackle shop / bailiff office. The rest of the lake is lined with trees and you will also see some floating reed boxes, these boxes are anchored with chains so it is wise not to cast too close to these as they are prone to floating about quite a bit.

With well over 40 pegs available, you can normally find yourself a peg with no problem, fishing is also permitted from the concrete island accessible via a bridge. All pegs have a facility for a two man bivvy and areaccessed by a comfortable path suitable for trolleys and carp barrows.

The walk to the peg can be very short with some pegs within 15 metres of the car park. The path itself only becomes a bit precarious when you walk round past the dam.On site facilities are fairly good for a fishery of this size, there is a small on-site tackle shop which carries basic tackle and bait run from the bailiffs office. There is also a toilet available, and for those who have forgotten something important there is a large tackle shop less then 5 minutes away.
