Fishery description:
Field and Swan lakes have a good all round selection of species to attempt to catch. The bream stock has grown to an average of two to three pound with specimens at six to seven pounds. Roach, Rudd and skimmers are always present. Tench and the odd Crucian are present in Swan Lake. Carp average four to eight pounds with the occasional specimen being caught.
Old Island Lake is a small, wooded lake, containing a large head of carp. Very close by here is Long Lake which contains carp, rudd, roach, tench, and bream.
