Red Kite
The largest lake on the complex at around 2.5 acres Red Kite was originally constructed as a match lake. It was re-developed as a specimen carp lake and re-opened in Spring 2022. It has just 10 large gravelled pegs on one side of the lake about 20 metres apart, so each peg has approximately 1000 square metres of water to go at. With a 40 to 50 metre cast to the unfished far bank and vehicular access to each peg, it makes for a relaxing day.
The fish growing on in this lake were originally spawned in Swallow lake and we selected a few hundred (from thousands) for their unique scale patterns and colouration in the Autumn of the year they hatched when they were less than an ounce. These fish were introduced to Red Kite at between 7lb to 18lb and had never been caught before that introduction. The fish are still growing well with a constant stream of 20's coming out in 2026, biggest to date 30lb 6oz.
Red Kite can only be booked via the clubmate fishing app. See the information regarding this on the Day Tickets page.
