its generally a hard place to fish. you have to find the carp.
they tend to hang on the gravel bar going the length between the two islands.
pre baiting helps

find the gravel spots near the islands. big bed of stinky bait - grains/boilies etc. not too many smaller fish in there.

very few decent swims to fish from. but the point is the best. fish to the tree line in front of you

funny looking carp upto mid 40s in there.

the only thing with the Lea Valley, its they are all public lakes that any one can walk around.
Usually rough people, or dog walkers.

The lakes are in a cr@p, and frankly unsafe area.
No toilets/showers
No facilities
No safe parking
Miles to your swim from any parking
Rubbish swims, if any at all (uneven, tiny, hard to get to)

The only fishing it suits is one rod stalking tactics for a day session.

No chance im leaving my car overnight in that area.

fish on the gravel spots round the islands.

Why are so many threads and responses on this forum so poorly written?
The lack of punctuation, and use of poor grammar is astounding.

You're not five years old. Use commas and full stops!

of course... in my opinion, anything over 25lbs is a decent fish!

if someone said the lake record was 25lbs, I wouldn't bother fishing it... !

was reading around.

apparently only mainly 3ft deep around the whole lake.
Loads of little fish in it too.

sounds like a random park lake to me.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
