5 Well Stocked Lakes
There are five lakes and 185 pegs at Sherwood set in 20 acres far away from the madding crowd, and each offering something different. Open matches are run every Wednesday and there are Sunday opens from October-May.
CAVANDISH LAKE
an oblong shaped lake with pegs down just one site. Fishing a pole down the side or at 11m works well, as do waggler and feeder tactics.
MAUNSIDE
a smaller straight lake with 20 pegs. With depths of up to 5ft this offers good year round pole fishing.
SHERWOOD LAKE
a large “S” shaped lake (quite apt) with a number of pegs which will leave you feeling tired after a few hours fishing. There are lots of enticing areas and features to fish to.
LANGDALE CHANNEL
a small oval shaped lake which is perfect for beginners or a relaxing pleasure session..
HOLMEDALE LAKE
possibly the most interesting lake due to its irregular shape. This lake holds the venu record 279lb 12oz held by Daz Staley. The lake contains a high number of carp, but on hard days the large head of silver fish can provide good sport.
Take the A60 out of Mansfield north bound, join the A6075 after 3mile turn right at the mini roundabouts and after 200m turn right into the farm lane then follow the sings to the fishery.
