Cox Lake

Cox Lake is the largest of 3 lakes on The Orchard Complex. This picturesque 4 acre lake is of irregular shape with an island, this gives the water a lot of features including bays, gravel bars, deep water, reed-lined banks and lily beds.

There are approx 32 marked pegs to fish from, all of which are capable of producing a great days sport on the pole, feeder, waggler or ledger. Carp run into low twenties although the average stamp is 5lb-10lb, however this water is capable of throwing up a few surprises.

The water is a great mixed-fishery and is suited to the pleasure/match angler. There is disabled access and 2 designated disabled pegs.
