Bury Hill fisheries has recently opened a 4th lake. Temple Lake is situated directly behind the old lake alongside mature parkland, the new lake has superb far extending views over the surrounding countryside. Designed specifically for very large specimen carp, the lake is 4 acres in size (1.6 hectares) and has 4 islands running down its centre dividing the two fishing banks. Hundreds of underwater features have been created on both the banks and islands creating fish holding points. Depths vary between 2.0m and 3.5m along the main channel with all swims having access to a choice of water depths to suit all weather conditions.

Spring 2005 - New fishing decks on Bonds and Milton Lakes have now been finished while those on the Main Lake are under construction. The Main Lake is awaiting a new stocking of tench from 2-9lb. Stocking on the members only Temple Lake has started with carp from the mid 20's to upper 30's expected with the possibility of a 40.

Autumn 2005 - There are a number of big fish stockings taking place this autumn, the Old lake is to receive circa 1 ton of tench and ½ ton of bream, 100 or so double figure carp and 50 odd pike to 20lb+ whilst Milton is scheduled to receive 3/400lb tench and possibly 1000 small carp. Temple will also receive its final big stocking with 25/30 carp to upper 20’s.

Winter 2006 - The winter stocking is now well underway, a further 20 big carp were stocked into Temple just before Christmas ranging in size from 20lb to 26lb. The Old Lake also saw a huge stocking with 400 large carp, which included 250 doubles ranging in size from 10lb to 19lb being stocked. The average size of fish was 14lb, so expect some excellent sport in weeks to come. The Old Lake has also been stocked with ¾ of a ton of skimmers and roach. A further ½ ton or so of skimmers and bream, 1 ton of tench and 100 pike to mid twenties will complete the stocking in the coming weeks.
Following a partial drain down and netting of Bonds Lake, Bury Hill have tweaked the stocks a bit but basically there is over 2000 carp in Bonds for close to 2 ½ tons of fish. So sport on Bonds is a guaranteed to remain fast and furious for next year. Milton has also been partially drained and netted and following this, it is to receive a stocking of 3000 small carp around the 8oz mark shortly and 500lb tench.
