Whitmore fishing Lakes
We currently have 13 waters from which to fish, Whitmore caters for all Anglers, so whatever standard you consider yourself to be, there is something here for you. So don't be put off if you're a beginner, there are at least two lakes which are perfect for you. Talk to Ricky or Gary when you arrive, and they will point you in the right direction.
ISLAND POND- This is a small-secluded water with an island to one side, ideal to fish to on a pole. The overhanging branches make it difficult to fish to on a rod and line but a feeder round the back of the island is a good option. Large carp are taken mainly from the rear of the island or on the surface against the tall trees.
(6 pegs) Stocks: Carp to 16lb, tench to 7lb, perch to 4lb, bream to 1.5 lb, roach to 0.5lb and golden orfe to 1lb.
EAST LAKE There are various methods to learn on this lake. An accurate plumb up and a steady feed pattern should give you bites all day! Nevertheless, be warned, with the hard fighting barbel, your rod could be dragged.
(27 pegs) Stocks: Carp to 16lb, green & golden tench to 3lb, barbel to 12lb, chub to 6lb, bream to 2.5lb & roach to 1lb, chub to 6 lb & gudgeon.
THE DOUGHNUT Very smilar to the East Lake, but with the added bonus of a centre which, if you can get close enough with a float or feeder will give you another option to fish on

THE BASIN - Large pleasure bags can be achieved from this water. It is a difficult water to learn especially without advice, but can be very rewarding when you have mastered the technique of the sloping bottom hence THE BASIN.
