About Black Lake
Offering 32 well-spaced and varied pegs, Black Lake is a general mixed coarse fishery which ranges in depth from approximately three feet by the car park to about nine feet in parts of the bay at the far end and along a channel which runs down the centre of the main section of the lake. Anglers can fish either from the main bank or from the many pegs on the central islands which offer a different perspective of the water.
Depths vary between four feet in the bay at the entrance to the water by the car park (above), which is always worth a try, to just over six feet in other parts of the water. With several bays and two islands there are plenty of features to fish to, although it always pays to spend a little time on the bankside looking for the fish and watching where they are patrolling or feeding.
Christine Lake holds a good head of common and mirror carp to over 40lbs plus grass carp into double figures. The lake record now stands at an impressive 40lbs.
