Black Lake
Black
Lake near Fulford is so called because of the colour of its water, even
in spring and summer the pool looks uninviting yet holds quite a good
head of roach and crucian carp. Light tackle is the order of the day
here although there are plenty of sub surface snags to catch out the
angler. Certainly in summertime anglers tend to be harassed by the large
number of pike in this water and it often pays to set up two sets of
tackle, one for light float fishing and another with a small floating
plug - ready for when the fishing suddenly goes quiet or you see a couple
of pike lurking around your keepnet.
