The Top Lake

Kingfisher Pools top lake is stream fed, which allows the lake to be topped up nearly all year round with fresh water. The size is just shy of 2 acres which is stocked with what we believe to be the correct amount of fish to enable healthy growth.

Five catfish 50lb+ the largest now into its 70's, and one albino catfish. Two large grass carp with the rest made up of commons and mirrors being the dominant strain.

Some scaly fish are present and average weight is 22lb, but a few smaller fish are bringing up the rear, a selection of 30lb with some fish bordering 40lb. The majority of the top lake fish, apart from one or two original's, are all recently stocked fish 4-6 years in age, so a long life ahead of them yet. Roach, gudgeon and perch also swim around the margins, and all do their job in making it a well balanced fishery.

The top lake is around 8ft at its deepest, with a shallower end that tapers down to a couple of feet. With underwater surgery having been carried out, the top lake is virtually snag free.

The top lake bed has a firm bottom, with the odd silt pocket here and there. Overhanging trees make ideal spots to lower a bait.
