THE COVE – The Cove is an acre in size and is stocked with blues and rainbows to double figures and brown trout to 9lb, there are also a large number of natural brown trout which river anglers will find a joy to deceive. It drops to depth of 10.5ft and with Hawthorne trees and wynd bushes; it has a very natural ambience. Due to the brown trout in the Cove it is closed between the end of October to the 1st March, this gives everyone something to look forward to with the prospect of good over wintered fish.

THE ISLAND LAKE – The Island Lake is stocked with gold, blue and rainbow trout to 20lb and drops to a maximum depth of 18ft with differing depths all over and plenty of under water features e.g. Troughs, humps and large boulders. This gives the angler a challenge when they hook into a fish! As with all the lakes there are prolific morning / evening rises during spring and summer, so many patterns work.

THE WEE ONE – The Wee One is again stocked with gold, blues and rainbows to double figures and drops to a maximum depth of 15ft. Again the fish are hard fighting and a challenge to stalk and land.

THE MEADOW – The Meadow has a maximum depth of 12ft behind the island and with water gin clear it makes for very visual exhilarating sport. Gold, blues and rainbow inhabit this water.

THE HAWTHORNE – The Hawthorne is the newest of lakes and again stocked with blues and rainbows. There is a maximum depth of 20ft and the over hanging wynds and Hawthorns provide plenty of fish fodder.

All the lakes contain perch and roach which, come the autumn, give amazing sport for fry pattern users. Don’t be surprised if you come across a few eels and newts and please be careful not to stand on the thousands of frogs residing at Moorbrook.
