Day Ticket anglers need to ring him before going
Nickolls Leisure is a 55 acre ex gravel pit fishery and sailing water, which is open to day ticket anglers and memberships. There are around 20 swims for the day ticket angler and members, and a further 8 swims for the members anglers which day ticket anglers cannot fish.
It’s taken around 5-6 years for the fishery to rebuild after it lost around 90% of it’s fish stock due to an algae bloom which suffocated the water of oxygen.
The fishery has been restocked with a good head of 20 & 30lb carp and there are 2 known 40lb carp swimming around for the serious carp angler.
There are some enormous eels residing in the depths of this lake and boast some big fish weighing on average 5,6,7 & even 8lb’s in weight.
There is a small island at one end of the lake and lots of different features under the water, but it’s biggest feature as of all lakes are the margins, these have produced some good fish over the years and continue to do so with the new stock. So do not ignore.
Depths range on average 5-8ft deep and in places between 16-20ft deep. There is one swim in the members section that has a plateau in front of it and a depth of around 3-4ft.
The fishery allows 4 rods to be used and is preferred to use Barbed or Micro Barbed hooks.
There is a sailing club that also shares the water with the anglers and a mutual harmony is expected.
Please note, anyone fishing the boats swim has to pull rods by 10am until the sailors finish. ( Sunday’s only )
Facilities include the sailors hut for everyone to use and has hot running water, Microwave oven, Fridge freezer, table and chairs to sit and eat if wished.
There are also toilets and showers for both men and women.
