Mr Hinks Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Trevs a top bloke and Johnny is a top angler. I'm expecting the fishery now to get better and better. I will be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REPO MAN Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It's on the right on Hard Lane, on the way to Harthill from Kiveton Yes I have found it on google maps and it is not the one I thought it was, do you know anything about the stock of any of the 3 lakes it has on sight ? I am wondering about paying it a visit when the weather warms up a bit but not sure wether it is a typical carp puddle or if it has some fish in for the more serious carp angler. Any info greatly appreciated. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dars35 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 the top lake used to have the bigger carp in, at one time it was referred to as the specimen lake but that was before the 2007 floods, which pretty much redistributed the sites fish stocks evenly across all 3 lakes since then it's been referred to as the pleasure lake, it's got lots of carp, lots of bream, lots of good roach & good crucians... it's also got at least one big pike too! When I started fishing there it was the tench that attracted me, but they have become extremely hard to catch & the reason is because they are almost all parrot mouthed... so you get bites from them, but invariably you'll pull out of them I had one last year that had such a deformed/over-healed mouth the actual opening was no more than the size of a 4mm pellet... don't get me started on that one! Kiveton waters was/is the only 'commercial' I still fish now, it's just so much nicer than all the other - using your phrase - carp puddles... fisheries that almost killed my desire to fish a couple of years ago! it's a venue I know I can go & catch even in the most adverse conditions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REPO MAN Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Dars thanks for the info much appreciated, having never been there I am guessing its a bit like Kiveton Hall Farm fishery which I fished last summer before its problems started, I found the top lake there to ok for a few runs from single figure fish with the chance of the odd double figure fish, some though had bad mouths due to poor angling same as you have described.

dars35 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (it's just Dar mate... the s35 is my postcode) it's not a million miles away, used to enjoy our old club matches at Kiveton hall, but drawing well was imperative there yes, a lot of anglers at Kiveton waters default tactic when they know carp are present is the method, nothing particularly against that but I've seen anglers on there using line that would be more at home in Whitby harbour my best carp from there was 15lb 12oz & that was on the pole the margins are pretty shallow, but you can often see their big scaley backs at your feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
