The LakeOak Pool offers 30 pegs and since the introduction of 1,000 8-10inch carp in 2007 which are now averaging 8-10lb it has turned into one of our main match lakes. At just over an acre in size, Oak is larger than either Brook or Ben's pools and being further away from the car parking area often tends to be quieter than its two siblings except when being used for matches. Although relatively featureless on the surface, Oak has four gravel bars running across its main length which are excellent features and often where the fish will get caught from. Although there are a few deeper holes dotted around the pool, much of it tends to be between five/six feet deep. In winter it is worth searching around your swim to see if you can locate the slightly deeper water as this may be where the fish tend to congregate. Oak is predominantly a carp a carp match water the most popular baits tend to be maggots and casters in winter with cheese, luncheon meat, pellets, paste, sweetcorn and tinned cat meat being more popular during summer months. |
Stock & SpeciesOak is predominantly an out and out Carp match water. It is extremely well stocked with Carp that average the 8-10lb Mark. Since the introduction of 1,000 8-10inch carp in 2007 which are now averaging 8-10lb it has turned into one of our main match lakes. There used to be a cracking head of silvers in there but the we have had a issue with the Cormoronts on Oak pool in recent times meaning that there is no longer a great deal of SIlvers that reside in the lake. This is something we are currently working on. As of the start of 2018, Oak boast some stunning carp that often get caught around the 20lb mark. The overall stock really is impressive with winning Match Weights normally around the 60-80lb mark. Match weight's should improve following the ongoing stocking programme at the fishery. |

It is Lavender Hall's policy to be fair and honest with the visitors to their waters and for this reason we have no silly rules. Very few visitors are banned from the waters or told to leave but the bailiff or staff will send anglers away if they blatantly disregard the rules that we do have. For instance anglers have been told to leave after parking their vehicles on the grass having driven past notices saying they should not do so, standing up with fish, lighting fires on the bank, being abusive and spoiling the fishing for others, leaving their rods unattended and leaving litter.
Lavender Hall operates a zero tolerance policy to any acts of aggression or abuse towards its bailiff and staff.
Please read these rules carefully before coming to fish this water.
