Bowes Lake - Pleasure and Match Lake
Bowes has matured fantastically since September 2004 and now has a stable ecosystem in place with lots of natural food for the carp. Your approach in your choice of methods and feed patterns will give you fantastic rewards whether you are a match, pleasure or specimen angler.
Match
Best weight out in a 3 hour match has been 121lb by Andy Simpson. There is a good range of carp to suit match anglers. Angel of the North Fishing Lakes supplies keepnets.
Pleasure Anglers
There is a full range of sizes of carp to suit every angler. Our stock fish are now in the 2.5lb to 5lb range, with a good number in the 8lb to 15lb range. Our own carp which have been born and bred in Angel Lakes over the last 3 years range from 8oz to 2lb right up to specimen size - best out in 2007 was 31lb 5oz.
Specimen Carp
You can expect to catch our common carp to 31lb 5oz (caught 2007 pre spawning) as well as mirrors, and leather carp to 29lb. There is a full range of sizes - all gaining weight at great rates.
