NEW LAKE RECORD
May 2010

Tim Wagner landed this huge 45lb 4oz carp at the beginning of May. He caught the same fish last October when it weighed in 39lb.

Farriers is the new name for Lake 61.

Formerly Daiwa.  When the link with Daiwa ended, members were asked to make a suggestion for a new name.  Until this was decided we used Lake 61 which did not sit well with either members or the team. 

The suggestion of 'Farriers', with its subtle side-ways connection to Horseshoe, was enthusiastically received.  Thanks to our own Derek Buxton for this suggestion - a flash of inspiration! 

From June 2007 all permits have been issued in this name.

See Permit Options. 

Located within the Cotswold Water Park, near South Cerney in Gloucestershire, Farriers is a tranquil setting consisting of
two lakes.

The largest, at 32 acres, was stocked by the Society as a carp fishery. In excess of 650 fish were introduced before the lake opened in 1997. The lake is now regularly producing large mirrors and many commons over 40lbs. Winter fishing is spiced up by a liberal amount of double-figure pike.

New Lake record set in May 2010 at 45lb 4oz (above) and mirrors run to well over 30lb. There is easy access to all swims, good car parking and there are toilets at the site.  Farriers is leased from a mineral extraction company on a long term lease and run by the Society on a syndicate basis.
