The lake holds a large head of big bream with nets regularly exceeding 120lbs last summer. The resident carp run to over 20lbs with crucians, tench, roach, rudd, perch, skimmers and ide all running to specimen weights.

Top Lake: A 5-acre water bisected by two large islands, Top Lake is the newest addition at Churchgate. This is a perfect water for the general coarse angler. Until recently, the lake has only been lightly fished and has been producing huge bags for the lucky few. The majority of swims have platforms and this is the ideal choice for holding group and club matches. This lake holds over 500 double figure carp, huge shoals of bream to 10lb as well as tench and roach.

Middle Lake: The dedicated specimen lake with fishing available to members only. 12 purpose bivvy swims are available. The current stock of fish are thriving and the average weight of the resident carp is 16lb with plenty of 20lb+ fish. Multiple catches are common with many night anglers landing five 20lb fish in a night. Catfish to 40lb are also present in Middle Lake. Always on the move looking for an easy meal, suspended live baits on a summers evening are sure to get you a take or two. This lake also holds roach, rudd, tench, perch and skimmers.
