Oak at around one acre is the largest of the three original lakes at Woodlands. This was the main match lake before our 2004 expansion programme when two new match lakes were dug.

A unique feature of Oak is our floodlights that allow early & late season evening matches. Our Thursday night open matches are now very popular, with fishing from 6-30pm to 10pm under floodlights, draw at 6pm. A unique experience and weights are good also with 40lb needed to win most weeks. The evening match record stands at 49lb 15oz not bad for three & half hours floodlight fishing. Matches start in April & run through to October.

Oak Lake has 17 custom built pegs and easy access all round. It also has one peg designed for the wheelchair bound angler, which can be reserved in advance.

The carp in Oak Lake are mainly in the 2lbs – 8lbs size range but there are bigger specimens that go well into double figures. Oak is famous for its huge stock of true crucian carp that provide some excellent sport in the summer months, 40lb – 50lb nets are not uncommon. Tench & Bream make up the bulk of the remaining stock.

Average depth is 6 – 8 feet. Best baits are pellet, corn, luncheon meat & maggots.

Oak is available for club matches & bookings are now being taken for the 2009 season.. If you are interested in a new club venue for this season call Eric on 01790 754252 to discuss your requirements.
