Lake – Angele

The ‘middle’ lake at 19 Acres

Choose from 5 double swims all offering a fantastic fishing experience.

This 19 acre carp lake is home to an incredible stock of big carp that will have you coming back for more. The fish range from true leather carp to perfect linear carp and everything in between and most of them are big fish.

The lake is home to over 400 carp, there could be 80 – 100 different 40lb + carp in 2012.  Some of the bigger fish have now gone over the 50lb mark and if the same pattern continues that we’ve seen during the last 3 years then in 2012 we anticipate 50lb+ carp being caught most weeks.

The perfect linear

In its first few seasons the lake regularly gave the impression of being a runs water but after 3 seasons of angling the fish are naturally more cautious. These days although still possible but that has been replaced with a chance of multiple 40lb+ carp during a session and a wonderful ambience on the lake. In 2011 there was a feeling of anything could happen next and it quite often did and the excitement will be even higher in 2012 with so many fish now starting to reach big weights.

This is why you should be fishing at Freedom Lakes in 2012

Etang Angele in 2012 now presents a good challenge for anglers willing to put in the effort with some absolutely majestic carp to be caught. An average weeks fishing in 2011 has been around 12-15 bites per angler with a typical catch consisting of  mostly 30′s and 40′s.

There are several carp lurking in the lake that are always likely to become the new lake record as they continue to grow at an impressive rate and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the lake record reach high 50′s or possibly 60lb+ in 2012.

Does it get any better?

The lake now holds Ghost carp above 40lb, perfect Linear carp above 40lb, Common carp above 45lb, Grass carp above 50lb, Mirror carp above 55lb and there are plenty of surprises

The mirrors are still jostling for a pecking order with the biggest ones now over 50lb.

From 9lb to 45lb in 4 years!!! This will be 50lb+ in 2012

The lake also holds some big grass carp between 35lb and 50lb along with tench, pike, perch and roach.

The lake bed is a mix of sand silt and stone, there are a few weed beds during the summer. There are several sunken islands plus lots of overhanging trees around the lake, every swim is capable of producing a result.

This lake is well worth looking at for groups. It produces some very nice 40′s every week with a group of fish likely to be over 50lb on their next capture and usually everyone goes away with some great memories.
