We're talking about a 200+ acre stretch of water that's never really been Heavily fished, who knows what's in there !

I saw some carp on the surface in the bay between the yacht club and the damn wall. I guess there were about 6-8 of them, not monsters, I guess maybe upto 20lb mark, but lean looking. I had some dog treats in my pocket ( was walking the dog ) and threw a couple out but all it did was spook them and they swam off. I was surprised to see them as I go to chasewater quite often and only ever hear about the pike fishing, and I've never heard of a cat coming out of there.

Has anyone fished here ? I'm getting married here in April 09 and have seen the lake, its stunning. I rang for details and was told by the receptionist that it was open 7.30am until dusk and they charged £10 per rod, seems a little on the expensive side, unless it has the fishing to match? Has anyone fished it or got any further info please ?
