Horseshoe is renown for the quality of its fish, including stunning fully-scaled mirrors. Access is easy.
The lake consists of two main 'arms' or 'bays' known as Summer Bay and Winter Bay. Depths vary from an average of 4ft in Summer Bay to an average of around 11ft in Winter Bay. It is a weedy water, which is managed as necessary throughout the year.
FISH STOCK
Current Record

Fish stocks are approximately...
30lb+ estimated at least 70
25lb+ estimated at over 100
mid-doubles to low-twenties - running into several hundred. An average weight would be around 18 to 20lb.
Opinion is that there are generally 2 or 3 large shoals, plus many small pods of fish, thus location is the main factor to success.
Other Species
Alongside the carp swim huge fish of all species. Bream in excess of 14lbs, tench in the 6-9lb bracket are now common, and they go to over 12lb. Roach recorded at 3lb with large catches of fish 1-2lb are there for those that want them, beautiful rudd with 2lb fish recorded every year and a 3lb fish always a possibility. Winter though good for carp angling is also popular for pike into the high 20s, along with perch to 4lb.
