🎣 Lakes at Sykehouse Fisheries

Lakes

Twin Isles

Named for its central islands. Open water and pellet-waggler tactics often productive; good choice for pole or feeder.

Species present
Common Carp, Mirror Carp, Bream, Roach, Perch
Methods
Pole, Method Feeder, Bomb and Pellet
Notes
Seasonal notes: Island features and wind direction can change the best tactics through the year; pellets are the constant.
How it usually fishes: Pellet tight to the islands or over feed; long pole or waggler across to features. Match anglers often score here.

Match Lake

One of the larger waters at the venue, laid out for competition angling with regular match sessions. Pegs are well spaced with clear sightlines.

Species present
Carp, Bream, Silver Bream, Roach, Rudd, Crucians, Tench, Perch, Golden Orfe
Methods
Pole, Method Feeder, Bom and Pellet, Bomb and Corn
Notes
Seasonal notes: Match fishing can be very consistent in milder months, with large match catches reported. Summer often produces heavier weights as activity increases.

Stock Pond

A decent-sized stock pond that fishes well for both specimen carp and silvers depending on approach. Vegetation around edges and perimeter fishing gives options.

Species present
Carp, Bream, Silver Bream, Roach, Rudd, Crucians, Tench, Perch, Golden Orfe
Methods
Pole, Method Feeder, Bom and Pellet, Bomb and Corn
Notes
In summer this lake regularly produces good weights; in colder conditions silvers can still oblige.

New Lake

Another dedicated peg water that appears in match circuits; similar in flow and formation to the other lakes.

Species present
Carp, Bream, Silver Bream, Roach, Rudd, Crucians, Tench, Perch, Golden Orfe
Methods
Pole, Method Feeder, Bom and Pellet, Bomb and Corn
Notes
How it usually fishes: Typical commercial set-ups; pellet tactics strong, margins worth looking at when wind is light.
Seasonal notes: Consistent through most of the year; winter sport can still reward accurate marginal fishing.
