OPENFollowing a KHV outbreak on this water It is compulsory that anglers dip their nets, retainers & slings in the tanks provided on entry and exit of the complex. The tanks are situated near the toilet of the Bovington 1 car park. Failure to do this will result in the member being banned. There is a cctv camera pointing at the tanks and another on the entry gate so if you don’t do it we will know it’s you.
All unhooking mats, cradles, waders, wellies & braided mainlines must be fully dry before fishing, and please make sure they are dry before fishing other waters. Dry equipment of any type is the best way to stop the spread of any diseases. The use of Keepnets will not be allowed until such time that we have been given the all clear from the FHI for the use of keepnets.
This is a water that can be cruel and kind on the same day to an angler. Tricky would be the right word for the carp that live in the lake. The lake contains a decent stock of Carp to around mid-thirties and as with Bovington 2, there’s a great variation in the stock. During the February of 2018 a small stocking of VS Fisheries Carp were added to the water these fish were between 8 & 22lb and in November 2020, five C5 Carp and four C4 weighing between 10lb and 18lb were stocked. All fish stocked are a mixture of linears, leathers, heavily plated mirrors.
In addition to carp, you can find Pike, double figure Bream and plenty of silver fish.
All Year without a close season, subject to change at any time.
