BIG HAYES SPECIMEN LAKE

Big Hayes specimen lake was dug in 2006 and opened to the general public in May 2007. The lake is 8.5 acres in size and stocked with around 750 carp made up of a good mix of commons and mirrors ranging between 10lb and 34lb. There is total of 18 well spaced easily accessible wood chipped swims. Big Hayes also has a  stone track most of the way around the lake with parking bays behind the swims, making it ideal for the angler that likes to take those extra luxuries! The bottom of the lake is made up of clay with an average depth of 5ft dropping to around 9ft by the overflow.
