essexhammer Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Does anyone have any information on this water? I believe it used to be called Johns lake - I've searched under both names but limited success (searching under 'Johns' produces lot's of irrelevant threads!) It's a small lake essentially in the grounds of the the owner's house - he claims to have half a dozen upper 20's in there and is currently netting it to remove the remaining silvers. Difficult to bivvy up, except in about 3 swims but it looks interesting. Any knowledge appreciated, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukthirtyhunter Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi mate, I live in Chelmsford pal and have fished bentley twice, once a day session no success but it was in winter and again for two nights in november and it was freezing cold. In this trip I bagged an 18lb english Mirror. All the carp stocked are 'simmo's' fish so uk carp garanteed. He limits the numbers to 5 at anyone time which is good and the prices are good as you can use three rods. Bivvying was not a problem he has done alot of work to it and has 8 swims dotted round the lake all with plenty of room. Everyone else blanked when I was there seemed a tough lake. He netted it in november 2008 and at present there are 104 carp to 30lbs in there. He plans to cut that to 60-70 fish and let them grow to a very big size. The website has all the details you need www.bentleyfishery.co.uk my fish is on the carp gallery third along on the top row. cheers pal Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
