The Carp Lake is well stocked with carp up to 23lb and there are Wels Catfish present to 30lb. There are 20 fishing stands.

The Carp LakeThe water is very rich in nutrients and invertebrate life providing good growth potential for the fish. Small fish are removed annually to allow the big fish to grow. 

The Tench Lake is a three quarters acre mixed coarse fishery containing Tench to 6lb, Crucian Carp, Roach, Perch, Rudd, Bream, Golden Orfe. Keepnets and poles are allowed on the Tench Lake.

The Trout LakeThe Trout Lake is 2 acres in size and set in secluded surroundings. It is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout and fishing is only available to farm guests and members of the exclusive syndicate.

The lakes are managed for the benefit of the environment. 2 acres is part of an overall conservation scheme for Prospect Farm. The old meadow to the west and north of the lake is managed on a no fertilizer or spray system to preserve the wild flowers. It is a beautiful setting for a fishing break or just to get away from the strains of modern living.
