Carp fishing at Becks lake

Becks Lake is a beautiful mature 4 acre lake with 32 swims and many features including an island and an assortment of bars, reed beds and deep holes. This is an excellent runs water with plenty of Carp from high teens to mid twenties. Bream, Tench, Roach, Perch and Pike are also present.

Minimal weed and good water colour makes this a really good lake to get plenty of action and also to introduce those new to Carp Fishing. For the colder months targeting the silver fish is normally a good idea using very light line and small size 20 hooks fishing with Caster or Maggot.

Bags of 25lb+ of Roach are possible.

Becks Lake

The Carp range from low-double to high twenties, with an average stamp of approximately 18lb. With 32 swims spanning the perimeter of the 4-acre Becks, a central island provides a visible feature to fish to alongside the numerous subsurface humps, lumps and gullies. The depths from 4ft to 10ft, with the shallower water to be found towards the narrow eastern end and the deeper water at the wider western end. As a relatively easy Carp water, most tactics will score and a boilie hookbait fished over spod mix tends to catch numbers of Carp, while a boilie only approach can pick out the larger specimens.

Be sure to bring floater gear in the summer as the Becks lake Carp love a mixer, watch out for them piling up on the end of a fresh south westerly breeze.
