The Sitch is a naturally formed breath taking 26 acre estate lake, surrounded by mature dense woodland that boasts a spectacular variety of trees, and is home to a diverse range of wildlife.
The fishery has 20 purpose built pegs, some are situated in the woodland and others on purpose built platforms set out on the lakeside amongst the reed and sedges.
The lake is stocked with 450 young monument strain carp. These fish range from 12lbs-50lbs+ and are growing at a healthy rate, with the number of 20’s and 30's increasing each month! There are in excess of 120 x 30lbs fish with the lake record currently standing at 50lb 10oz. The number of 40's is increasing by the month with 10 x 40lbers.
The future looks promising for the Sitch as the fish continue to grow. With 450 fish multiple catches are a common place, these fish really respond to heavy baiting tactics and with depth’s not exceeding 4ft you are never too far away from your target.

This swim is open for bookings 12 months of the year! It is a superb giant stoned swim, purpose built for 2 anglers to enjoy, offering plenty of room for two bivvies, either side of a picnic table, making the swim very comfortable. There is a Unhooking mat/ cradle on the swim, so you only need your landing net and weigh sling.
We sell the swim on a half week or full week basis only for two anglers.
The Holiday Swim commands its own large private bay with views looking across the stunning 26 acre fishery.
From April 2021 Holiday swim guests are able to use bait boats to help you get the most from your stay!
