Winthorpe Lake and the River Trent

ABOUT THIS VENUE

Ashfield Angling Club are very proud to announce that we now own Winthorpe :-) Take a look at this fantastic footage of the venue : J. Preen Venue Drone Footage The lake is some 15 acres in size with a pretty even depth of around 7/8ft at normal level. The bottom has silt/gravel areas with little or no weed at all, and no bars, its quite flat. The margins are from nothing, sloping out gradually. The lake level does rise and fall with the adjoining river Trent and at times quite fast.The lake holds a good head of Carp/Bream/Roach/Perch/Pike and the odd Zander. It also has a 650 mtr stretch of the river Trent to fish with terrific Barbel/Chub/ Bream/Carp and Pike. The bank has good spaced out pegs and pretty good access to the waters edge, the river is accessible via the lake access gate and you can park your car behind you on every peg. As with all our venues please do not prune or remove any trees or reeds around the lake,this can only be done by the bailiffs after consultation with the committee.
