Fished it a few times Not a place for serious carp fishing,a few fish up to about 20lb it is mostly average tench, bream, roach etc, 3 Small lakes with a track running around part of them (was lots of rubbish unfortunately),and it can get a bit noisy, no real cover, geese all over the place, has had a Cormorant problem PLUS Otters!!.NO night fishing due to theft and vandalism NOT PRICEY THOUGH(£4.00. last season i hear prices may have gone up) which is more than you can say for Some places masquerading AS FISHERIES locally. Had a Big problem with yobs and the usual trouble makers in the past.All three lakes are shallow with a few Lilly beds/weed growth generally a hard bottom, water tends to be a little coloured.You do not have to contend with a lot of Stupid rules or Someone sitting on your shoulder it could just do with a bit of discipline and care to improve it.

Since i last visited the place on holiday prices have gone up and it certainly has started to have a face lift we had a walk around although not much was being caught but you could see an ongoing improvement landscaping.The carp lake has had a few carp out in the last couple of weeks including a low twenty which apparently is the biggest fish in it?. Night fishing is now allowed but strictly controlled the price for just an overnight stay was to us a bit pricey! considering the fishing,swims and so on.A board with rules is now on display and apart form the controversial barbless hooks only rule which seems strange especially for a carp fishery, as we all know some fisheries still mistakenly insist on barbless even though.. they cause damage, the rest were sensible. Again i would personally class this as a pleasure fishery only not for the serious carper or for that matter specimen angler just a shame you cant get in until 7.00pm.

Anyone ever fished this lake?
Wondering what species are in there, and what sort of sizes they go too.
Is it a nice lake to fish etc...
Lenwade lakes complex is now suffering from the Otter predation problem as is so many other lakes in the area i would make in depth enquiries before committing your hard earned cash on fishing there, such a shame to see a good fishing area ruined by this apex predator.

We used to fish these pits in the late nineties right up to they changed hands at that time you could also fish part of the river for your ticket money but i think it was about £45.00 or so. They had put those floating islands in at least one of them to help protect against the influx of Cormorants it did not seem to make a lot of difference.The carp boys fished mainly the Big Pits before they Weeded over in the summer we concentrated on the smaller pits that were not to badly weeded up mainly for the tench and bream,i did catch some big Rudd.We were told that there were Mink or Otters about, but never saw any we did see some large chewed Tench and a few Carp.The fishing was very hard you had to know your way around that large pit complex, never bothered with the speedboat ski lake it could be noisy.Had a problem with our cars being broken into on a few occasions.

Well I went there this morning to have a look. To be honest it doesn't look very well set up!, and it looks Quite a Dodgy place to fish.
I think I'll try cobbleacre when I'm 15, in 2 weeks ;)I only just realised that, lol.

Hi, I'm looking for a bit of information on Gimingham Lakes, Norfolk.
I have a few questions, that I hope can be answered.
1. Do they allow night fishing there, and how much is it for how many rods?
2. What do the carp go to, and what's the average size pulled out?
3. Is it easy to catch there, as heard it's a "runs" water?
4. A silly question, but do you think it's quite likely I'd beat my current pb carp at 13lb?
5. How's it fishing at the moment?
6. What baits work best?
Thanks very much for any help

Heading there Wednesday.
Cheers
Do not waste your time or money
cannot recommend THAT place!!. -
Has anyone fished at Taswood before? Are there any cats in any of the lakes, and what are the carp like (hard to catch, picky, shy etc..)
Any decent tips on methods etc..?
Also, how much is it for a night?
Cheers

I have fished these pits right up until 2007 i cannot say it was the easiest of places to fish a lack of re-stocking is part of the problem,plus the predation issues.In the summer you have to deal with very dense blanket weed plus chocking Lilly pads not recommended until a hefty amount of investment takes place
