| The Big Lake is a
14 acre gravel pit in the shape of an L, consisting of several gravel
bars and gravel shelves. Depths in this lake range from 2-11 foot,
from the shelves down to various holes found around the lake. Apart
from large amounts of open water, there is one island and several
secluded bays with overhanging bushes, reed beds and submerged weed.
There are also vast beds of mares tail weed which our larger fish
seem to congregate within. The River Cray flows in at the south
end at a point we call Chappell's Cut this part of the lake is always
worth a fish. The water quality in this lake is not as good as the
spring fed ones, but sufficient enough to house our bigger specimen
fish. The Big Lake holds fish as follows:- Bream to 121b, Tench
to 91b, Carp to 351b, Roach to 2.51b, Perch to 4.51b and Pike to
281b, we also believe that there are several fish that have never
been banked. It may also be possible to hook the occasional Chub.
