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.

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.
