A few anglers have visited Collycroft over Easter - myself included. I caught a couple of pike to around 6lb but missed about 50 with the fish chasing a shallow fished plug right up to the edge of the water. Several other anglers also caught pike this weekend and carp to around 12lb could be seen in the margins of the brook side of the lake.

"Only fished it for a couple of hours but had 9 pike and a trout between two of us,all on spinners.Also tried waggler to get a idea of whats in there,but couldn't buy a bite.Do you know if theres any roach etc in there,also do you have any idea of what size the pike and carp run to,the biggest we caught was a pike to around 9lb and a 7lb,the rest were below 5lb."
