<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Well, they have a website here I haven't fished there for ages but I think you mean Stowbridge (not Stowmarket) which is near Downham Market .... see here

Here's what they say about the fishing, viz.
As a venue for a fishing holiday Woodlakes is hard to beat. Its five tranquil lakes which cover 30 acres in all were formerly gravel pits and have been used by anglers for over 50 years. All the lakes are stocked with an array of coarse fish, most of which are descendants of the original stock.

One of the notable attractions of Woodlakes is the fabulous coarse fishing. All the lakes are well stocked with an array of fish including Carp (up to 30lbs in weight), Roach, Tench, Bream, Rudd, Perch, Pike and Eels. There is the spectacular 12 acre Championship Lake (reserved for residents only to fish) which offers the patient angler some superb coarse specimens including Common and Mirror Carp reaching 25lbs, Bream reaching 12lbs, Tench reaching 10lbs along with Perch, Roach and Rudd.

Guests staying in our Norwegian Log cabins overlook the 8 acre Coarse Lake and have the luxury of being able to fish straight from the private swim in front of their cabin. This lake also boasts a wealth of fish including common, mirror, leather, linear and ghost carp. One of our regular visitors reeled in 287 pounds of carp in just 12 hours last year.

For those after easier fishing there is the 4 acre Two Pole Lake with an abundance of Common and Mirror Carp weighing into double figures, whilst not forgetting our 2 smallest lakes The S Pit and The North Lake.

The S-Pit runs parallel to the Two Pole lake. Here you will find a good head of fish including common carp, bream, tench, perch and roach. Its hidden swims provide a tranquil spot to while away the hours watching the wildlife and birds that frequent Woodlakes.

Finally there is the North lake which holds carp, tench, roach and rudd, and again this lake provides a peaceful spot to relax.

Stowmarket has some grand fishing, and a whopping great pike, if you know here to fish!
