A beautiful lake that is easily accessible with comfortable angling platforms and a lakeside car park – and the fishing can be good too!, writes Martin Branagan.

Town Lake has a very good head of bream to 11lb, quality tench, plus the usual spread of species.

There is a good depth of water close in, so anglers who enjoy float or pole fishing will be in their element, though feeder fishing gets a good share of the fish. Make an early start after pre-baiting to have a chance of experiencing the lake’s highest level of sport.
