About the water

Picks Cottage Fishery is a members-only day-ticket fishing complex with holiday accommodation on site. Its website lists five named waters, although some introductory text describes it as a four-lake fishery. The waters are presented as catering for different styles of fishing. The Float Pond covers 0.3 acres and has five swims, with mixed coarse fish listed at 1–4lb. The one-acre Match Lake has 12 swims and contains carp listed at 4–20lb-plus, tench and bream at 1–8lb, alongside roach, rudd and perch. Doughnut Lake also covers one acre, with 15 swims and stocks of carp at 10–20lb and catfish at 10–35lb-plus. S Lake is listed as a 1.5-acre specimen carp water with ten swims and fish at 15–39lb. However, the website currently states that this lake is closed because of low water levels. Barrow Lake covers one acre, has three swims and contains specimen carp listed at 15–25lb-plus. For stays on site, The Fishermen's Rest is advertised as a self-catering holiday cottage. The Woodland Lodge is also offered as accommodation. Fishing access is exclusively for members; the supplied page does not give ticket prices or detailed fishing rules.
