Rook Lake
Rook lake is the eldest lake on the fishery. Originally built as a water storage reservoir, it is now predominately for pleasure fishing, boasting large carp and other specimens.

A general pleasure lake with large stocks of silver fish offering bites all year round. All pegs are easily accessible with parking directly behind each swim. Due to the nature of a reservoir, there are a few steep steps down the bank to the platform. The carp average 7-14lb with some bigger specimen fish just over 20lb. The biggest fish in the lake being a grass carp recorded at 30.08lb.

How to fish it
If you are targeting the larger resident carp, boilies, 8 or 10mm pellets, corn and pop ups work all year round. Simple PVA bag tactics throughout the year. During summer months, zig fishing can produce or a simple bomb & pellet or pellet waggler tactics. The silver fish sport can be fantastic all year round with caster, maggots and worms the perfect bait. For skimmers and crucian carp, soft pellets and groundbait work best.
