Back Lake
"East Delph Lakes is one of my favourite places to get a bend in the rod, and with so many stunning scaly 20s present there is a chance of landing something special too." Mark Pitchers
Introduced as tiny fingerlings in 1994 the two-acre Back Lake now boasts a phenomenal stock of carp. Many are over 20lb, with a decent amount upper 20s and a handful over the magical 30lb. Surrounded by mature trees and a host of other fauna the Back Lake has four islands, 13 swims and a few intimate stalking spots.
An eight-angler limit means you'll always have a reasonable amount of water to fish. Plus, to avoid any sense of overcrowding, there is a 'maximum of two anglers a bank' policy - unless you're friends on a social. Double swims can be found on each of the four banks to cater for 'socials' or group bookings. Alternatively, if you're a lone angler, some swims allow you to tuck yourself away and enjoy some peace and quiet. The Back Lake can also be exclusively booked, making it ideal for private parties.
