Bigwood is an 18 acre estate lake dating from the 1800s. The water is over half a mile long and has four islands. The lake was fully re-excavated in 2001 and now has a uniform depth of 6.5 ft with some deeper holes to 8 ft. The lake has 18 purpose built swims and apart from swim 1 and 2 (behind kidney island) all swims are on the western bank.
The lake is accessible via its own 1.5 mile long stone road which is behind locked gates the lake is 100% safe and secure.
The lake has been stocked with 525 Carp 300 from high singles to mid twenties mostly from our own stock, 200 horseshoe strain 6-8 in fish (3 years ago) and 25 dintons between 4 and 6 lbs, the dintons are now coming out at high doubles,and were only stocked 18 months ago.
The growth rate of the fish are fantastic with some fish putting on 5 lbs per year this is due to the extremely rich biomass of the lake it is the richest water I have ever seen.
