It is popular with carp anglers looking to fish a session and catch some carp without the hassle of fishing a massive water. The whole lake produces fish in the right conditions and most modern tactics work.

The most productive way to catch the carp in summer is a bed of a good quality fishmeal boilie with a popped up version of the same bait on the hook. Beds of maize and trout pellets also produce well and in winter, particle baits are key to helping you get some good sport.

Smaller versions of carp baits work well for extremely large bream and good tench.

Specimen 1 lake operates an annual membership system. It holds the larger fish with the lake record being a 40lb 4oz mirror. It also holds bream to 17lb, 20lb plus pike and double figure tench. A special boilie has been developed and is fed into into the lake on a regular basis. This is available from the bait and tackle cabin and is often the best option because the fish do not associate it with a hook.

The match lake is very good for either the competitive angler, or someone who just wants to catch some fish. It has an island in the middle which is the obvious feature and most anglers fish the pole in the margins or to te island. Most match tactics work and you can't go wrong feeding sweetcorn and fishing sweetcorn or maggot on the hook.
