Bounty Lakes offers the prospect of plenty of action from excellently conditioned, hard fighting Carp, Grass Carp and Catfish. In addition we also have specimen Roach, Bream, Perch, Zander and a few Pike.
The Carp
Both lakes are well stocked with Mirror and Common Carp. Typically catch rates are good and you’ll get plenty of action from stock fish from 20lbs to high 30’s with a good chance of a 40+ carp and possibly a 50 too.
The complex record Mirror is 48lbs from Bounty 1 with the best common to date at 46lbs from Bounty 2.
Grass Carp
Bounty 2/3 has a good head of Grass carp to nearly 50lbs with the average weight now being well in excess of 30lbs. These are stunning fish and they go ballistic!, especially near the net and on the bank so please be careful.
The Catfish
Both lakes offer excellent Catfishing . Bounty 2 has a particularly good Catfish reputation among the locals and was featured in Catfish Pro’s – Passport to Catfishing, French Lakes DVD. If you want to catch a Catfish or fish for Carp with a chance of a Mega Cat then Bounty is the place!
Both lakes have Cats above 100lb, the venue’s record came out of B2 124lb.
Bounty 1 also has a good head of Cats, the average weight is similar to Bounty 2. B1 record is 108lb with many Cats over 80lb.
We allow live- baiting on both lakes although the Cats will take all types of Carp bait.
