About Piper Lake

Piper is a 15-peg day ticket water, well-sheltered by thick trees, making it ideal when conditions are cooler or the wind is strong. Recently connected with Willow Lake, this enhancement has improved both lakes while maintaining Piper’s unique character.

With a sunken island running through the middle, the lake features a 3ft-deep shelf on top of the island and 6ft in its deepest water. At 13m wide, Piper is excellent for pole fishing, waggler fishing, and feeder fishing.

The lake is home to big Carp up to 20lbs, along with some of the biggest F1s on the complex and quality Skimmers up to 3lbs.

15 pegs
Stocked with big Carp (up to 20lbs), large F1s, and quality Skimmers
Ideal for pole, waggler, and feeder fishing
Sunken island with a 3ft shelf & 6ft deep water
Well-sheltered by trees, making it a great choice in cooler or windy conditions

On top of the sunken island (summer months): Soft pellet on the pole or feeder attracts big F1s and Carp
In deeper water (5m out): Casters and maggots work well for quality Skimmers, especially in winter
Fishing to the centre: Depth gradually shallows towards the island; targeting the drop-off can be productive
Best bait: Maggots and corn on the hook consistently yield great results

Piper remains a top choice all year round, providing excellent sport for anglers of all levels.
