Description
Longreed is a one and a half acre interesting shaped & feature packed carp water with 7 swims (there is a new stalking swim in the narrow channel at the top of the lake). This year we have extended the lake to create more space for the fish and open up the back pool swim.

There are three islands, numerous lily beds and substantial island and marginal reed growth. Depths reach seven feet in the troughs and holes but average four to five feet elsewhere.

As well as these obvious features there are numerous others, such as silt beds, clay bars and plateaus.

Meticulous management and a selective stocking and harvesting programme has ensured the fish remain healthy and maintain a year on year weight gain.

This year is the first time longreed has produced carp over 30lbs . Since Feb 2009 three have graced the banks. All commons and thought to be different fish. The top mirror has crept up a couple more pounds to 28lb 8oz and several other mirrors have clambered over the 20lb mark. The average weight now stands at 24lb 8oz.

The whole of longreed can be booked for a maximum of 5 anglers for £50 per day.
