About the water

Island Lake is one of three carp fishing lakes at Furzebray Farm in South Molton, North Devon. Built and designed by Tony Kingdon in 2006, it holds approximately 100 carp. The website states that most are over 20lb, with more than 30 fish over 30lb and seven over 40lb, and gives a lake record of 51lb. Furzebray offers fishing for mirror and common carp, with stocks including Horseshoe and Orchid Lake crosses and English Leaney crosses selected by Tony. The wider fishery includes Willow Lake, built in 2012, and Copse Lake, added in 2015. Willow is described as holding approximately 150 fish to over 36lb, while Copse has approximately 50 carp to over 35lb. Features across the lakes include islands, overhanging trees, bars and marginal features. The site is surrounded by woodland, fields and gardens. Furzebray also offers self-catering accommodation and camping and caravanning facilities around a three-acre lake. The venue is approximately two miles from the A361, and the nearest town is within walking distance, with markets, supermarkets, pubs and restaurants. The supplied homepage does not give ticket prices, fishing rules or details of whether night fishing is permitted.
