About the water

Shepherds Way at Brookmans Park is a Barnet and District Angling Club fishery with two lakes, Neate’s Lake and Small Lake. Together they provide around 40 pegs. The venue lists carp from 2lb to over 18lb and roach averaging between 12oz and 1lb, with larger roach also present. Parking and toilets are available, and the fishery is open throughout the close season. Fishing is restricted to permanent numbered pegs, with one rod per member at a time. Small Lake is float-only. Anglers must use genuine barbless hooks no larger than size 10 and carry an unhooking mat. Fixed rigs, floating baits, boilies, nuts and trout pellets are prohibited. Groundbait is limited to one kilo per angler, while carp pellets are limited to half a kilo. Keepnets are prohibited except during organised club matches, when club nets must be used. All nets must be air dried before fishing, and the venue provides net dips as part of its fish-health precautions. Night fishing must be booked with the bailiff and is limited to six members, including juniors, on any night. Visits may last no longer than 24 hours, with no return within a calendar week. Guest tickets are not allowed before 1 October, and junior members cannot obtain guest tickets.
