I fished this lake when Ware first took it over had lots of good tench and bream, the crays can be a real head banger. As for carp i think there is more then people think i've seen more then 50 fish behind the island sunning themselves. I also watched them spawning and saw a lot of carp going at it. Had them feeding tight to the bank in the past most were mid doubles but i've seen a few near the 30lb mark. In the past i heard it did a 40lber which went walk abouts, i belive the mid 30 common that Ash from Johnson ross had is still in there. And as for the swimmers they never gave me any bother.
