The official carp record is 19 lb 3oz Caught From Sherwood Lake,by Mick Lysaght ,but we know that bigger fish have been caught so if you do get a bigger one phone the bailiff for official weighing (the number is on your day ticket).
Our stock ponds were emptied this spring, we put Ide into the Sherwood lake and in
the Langdale, Chub in the Maunside, Carp in the Holmedale and Maunside.
hoping for
an even better year, I predict the match record to go on the Sherwood and Langdale
and close on the Holmedale
The lakes can also be booked by fishing clubs so please check availability before traveling. this is mostly at the weekend
The cafe will be open every Sat/Sun From Sping untill the end of October from 7.30 am till 1pm
