EXCLUSIVE
always one of the least popular
waters in years gone by. It
was often the quietest water.
These days it’s probably the
busiest as it holds the biggest
fish “Tilly”. A 50lb common
everyone hopes to catch
but only a lucky few have
the pleasure of holding for a
picture. It has a decent stock
of carp of around 350 fish.
Loads of 30s and 20s and a
handful of 40s. A tricky water
but slightly easier than Swan
or Kingfisher.
Swan: This is one of the
most famous flagship waters
of Bluebell. Around 12 acres
it can be weedy and a wind
driven lake. Big southerly and
northerly winds are worth
following. Swans held some
very big famous carp including
Dave, The creature, Z fish, two
tone common, Scar Common
and the perfect common. The
list goes on and on.
Although it does not currently
hold a 50lber I doubt it will be
long before it does again. It
BigCarp 72
still holds many 40s and 30s.
A very hard and challenging
water it is rewarding and a lot
of anglers favourite water.
Kingfisher
“kingy”:
This is probably the most
famous water due to one of
its most famous residents of
the past “Benson”. This big
common was one of the most
famous carp in the country
pulling anglers from far and
wide to try and catch it. Today
kingfisher is still producing
big fish to just over 50lb. It’s
a challenging tricky water.
Weedy and snaggy holding
multiple 30-40lb fish. Many
anglers leaving happy with a
pb. Lots of anglers only choose
to fish kingfisher or “kingy” as
most call it “kingy fever”.
The River Nene:
The
Nene is a famous carp fishery.
Although people say it’s not
what it was but trust me it
holds plenty of carp. Mystery
is the name of the game. He
who dares wins above and
below the weir and lock behind
