Willow Lake, Part of the Barford Lakes Complex

Information

The Willow Lake is situated on the Railway Lakes complex in Thuxton (nr Garvestone), in Norfolk.

History

Willow Lake was dug out in 2001 and is our newest match venue. Willow Lake lies parallel with peg numbers 1-16 of Railway Lake. A portakabin has been installed for use at this venue and with two rooms allows clubs fishing both Railway and Willow to draw from there, and is located on the right as you go over the bridge when entering the complex.

Stocking

The lake is well stocked, mainly with Carp ranging between 2-10lb. There's a nice mixture!

Peg Layout and Depth

This banana shaped lake is an average of 10' deep and has fishing platforms for each peg. At 6m you have about 6-8' of water.

Planting consists of many Willow trees between the pegs which gave the water its name and the marginal reeds have also grown up nicely.

Hotspots

• The most productive pegs to date have been pegs 1, 10-12, 16, 17, 22 and 24.
