CREATION OF THE LAKE
LAKE PLAN
The lake has an excelent water supply, fed by artesian wells and springs and consequently the trout are very content.
The lake is approaching 1.5 acres and has crystal-clear water fed by 3 artesian wells and several springs. Its depth ranges from 1.5 to 3+ meters and it is stocked with mainly rainbows ranging from 2lbs to doubles. Some browns have also been stocked.
The lake has been designed so that every inch of water is easily reached with a moderate to decent cast.
Access to the lake is limited to 10 fishermen to maintain a level of confort for all fishermen.
LAKE FACILITIES
A comfortable fishermen’s lodge with free tea and coffee for anglers is available. An outside terrasse which overlooks the lake is available for use in good weather. A toilet and shower is provided adjacent to the lodge. We intend to provide a disabled fishing platform for wheelchair users at a later date.
