Windsor Lake
Windsor Lake
Windsor is a popular 24-peg fishing spot known for its ease and productivity, attracting many day-ticket pleasure anglers. The lake is well-stocked with a variety of fish and consistently yields impressive catches.
- 24-peg and increasingly popular with day-ticket pleasure anglers because it is such an easy water to fish
- Stocked predominantly with common and mirror carp ranging between 3lbs to 8lbs but with the occasional fish up to 20lbs
- Windsor holds a good head of tench to about 5lbs with the average being between 2lbs and 3lbs; skimmer bream to 2lbs 8oz; roach and rudd to about 2lbs; some chub to a similar size and hard-fighting perch to 3lbs
- Regularly produces good pleasure catches and match winning weights of between 70lbs and 80lbs are regularly taken.
- The Match Lake end of the fishery can fish particularly well depending on which way the wind is blowing
- Responds well to pole and feeder, although for some reason normal waggler tactics tend not to be as effective until later in the year when the temperatures drop and a pellet waggler fished up in the water proves particularly effective
- 4lb to 6lb line strengths to a 14s or 16s hook are recommended with best baits being sweetcorn, 6mm cubes of luncheon meat and both hard and soft hooker pellets fished in conjunction with a method or cage feeder
