Wellingborough lakes comprises four disused gravel pits of 5, 11, 23 and 34 acres, with the 5 acre Island lake and 12 acre Heron lake situated south of the Wellingborough town at one site with the 23 acre Mill lake half a mile away to the south east of the town and the 34 acre Delapre Lake South of Northampton town, all along the Nene Valley.
I have set the fishing swims between 40-60m apart to give the angler plenty of water to fish there are seven swims on the Island lake, fifthteen swims on the Heron lake, twenty three swims on the Mill lake and 20 swims on Delapre.
You have shallow areas around the margins and islands with depths going down to eightteen feet at most in the centre of the lakes Canadian pond weed is present in all four waters around the margin slopes and shallower areas.
All four waters are run on a limited ticket syndicate basis to stop the waters being over fished and abused, by calling in on the waters twice a day I can monitor the lakes activities.
I have mobiloo toilets at all sites and rowing boats chained up in case we need to free any weeded up fish.
All the waters are mixed fisheries containing Tench to 11+lbs, Bream to 17+lbs, Pike to 28+lbs, Perch to 3+lbs, Chub to 8lbs, Barbel to 13+lbs and Carp to 40+lbs.
All entrance gates are locked with combination locks.
The lakes are private with no public rights of way or bridle paths along the fishing banks apart from Delapre Park.
You are fishing for English carp in peaceful surroundings.
