Information
The specimen carp lake at Acorn Fishery is a highly sought-after venue for carp anglers, covering approximately 3.5 acres and offering 16 well-designed fishing pegs. The lake features a mix of smaller islands and a larger central island, providing anglers with numerous fishing opportunities along the margins and various features. With a clay bottom, the lake has a combination of bars, shelves, and open flat areas, all easily accessible for anglers to target carp. In March 2019, the dedicated team at Acorn Fishery carried out significant improvements to the specimen carp lake, including de-silting the lake, rebuilding swims, and replacing huts. These improvements not only enhanced the overall aesthetics of the fishery but also provided an opportunity for a comprehensive health check of the fish stock. The current fish stock in the specimen carp lake is truly impressive, boasting over 400+ stunning carp ranging in size from approximately 15lb to 38lb+, with a substantial portion of the population in the mid to upper 20’s and 30’s. Anglers can expect to encounter a mix of beautifully scaled and powerful carp during their fishing sessions at Acorn Fishery. To maintain the balance and health of the fish population, the lake undergoes annual netting to remove any smaller carp or fry, which are then transferred to smaller stock ponds to ensure the continued growth and development of the fishery. With its carefully managed fish stock, picturesque setting, ongoing improvements, and impressive specimens, Acorn Fishery’s specimen carp lake is a prime destination for carp anglers seeking memorable fishing experiences.
