Foxearth Traditional Lake

The newest addition to Foxearth Fisheries fishing lakes. Dug in 2007 the Traditional lake provides the serious course angler with an opportunity to catch quality coarse fish including carp from 6 to 8 inches through to around 10lb, tench from 6 to 8 inches through to 9lb, good sized bream, roach, nice size perch and the other usual suspects. We have also intoduced some new fish in 2009.

The lake was originally being used as a stock pond to breed a small amount of tench for the specimen lake however due to the huge weights of the carp in the specimen lake and vast majority of anglers fishing the water being carp fisherman, it was decided that the sole purpose of that lake should be for carp fishing.
The decision was made to expand the stock pond into a  coarse lake, net the larger coarse fish that were previously unappreciated in the carp lake and transfer them into the newly extended lake to provide a perfect fishing experience for the more serious coarse anglers. 

The same rules apply as with the Pleasure lakes, with the exceptions of the following:

Adults only
Only one rod / pole
No heavy Carp Rods or Tackle
Maximum 6lb main line and 4lb hook length 

You need a suitable sized landing net and unhooking mat to fish any of our lakes and please use your clutch and play the fish, don't take them surfing.

If you fish at foxearth and have any photos of the fish you have caught on the Traditional lake, let me have them in digital form and i will post them on the Traditional Lake gallery.
To encourage people to submit more photo's we are now running photo of the month.
If you submit one of your Traditional lake catches and it gets picked for photo of the month you will get a free day's fishing.

Summer season: April 1st to October 1st              Winter Season: November 1st to March 31st.
