Bradleys Lake
Day and season permits available
Bradley's has some ongoing restoration taking
place however this has only enhanced the fishing.Please ring for
any updates however the fishery will remain open whilst work is
carried out.
This mature gravel pit is already well known by the
serious specimen hunter for its large carp currently growing over
the magical 40lb mark Bradley's has been stocked with 2000 carp
in 2006 to compliment the existing head of 250 carp which grow in
exess of 40lbs.
Bradleys is well known for its Tench to double figures,
Roach, Perch and Rudd. During the winter months the pike angler
can expect good sport with large catches commonplace.
Day tickets are available from 'The Tackle Den'. There
are several car parks on Bradley's, details will be provided at
the tackle shop when you purchase your ticket.
Bradley's is the Jewel in the Crown of Watermark fisheries.
This 114 acre mature gravel pit is already well know by the serious
specimen hunter for its large carp currently growing beyond the
magical 40lb mark as well as specimen Tench into double figures
Roach and Perch.
Although a huge venue Bradley's is unusual as far
as large English gravel pits go in that it is a consistently prolific
fishery for the carp angler and general angler alike. The carp population
is in excess of 2500 fish with approximately 40 - 50 of these being
very old original fish (this is a rough estimate).
Bradley's is a clearwater fishery with plenty of gravel
patches. It is rich in life and now that gravel abstraction has
finished is set to become one of the UK's premier carp fisheries.
In terms of other species Bradley's is well known
for its Tench with 100lb + bags still commonplace. Tench are caught
into double figures with a good average size of 4lbs + to be expected.
Roach & Perch can also be caught and during the winter months
the pike angler can expect good sport with large catches commonplace.
Pike fishing is relatively unexploited however now that new bank
space has been created there are many new areas to explore. Pike
tend to hug the drop off. Action can be expected throughout the
day however the first hour of dusk can be particularly rewarding.
