"If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere." --Vincent Van Gogh
Action all the way at Poppy's Lake !
Poppy's Lake is above Etang du Mee and just a few minutes walk from the facilities.
We are planning to install a composting toilet adjacent to the lake for emergencies but anglers usually are quite content to stroll down to the main shower/toilet block.
It is a very quiet venue and a real sun trap where other than song birds and the drone of dragonflies the only other noise to be heard may be a distant tractor.
In the spring there is always a cuckoo to be heard around the lake and the summer months see kingfishers and even the occasional roe deer can be seen coming the the lake edge for a drink. Badgers and foxes also live close by in our woodland and will often be seen or heard in the nights or early mornings.

POPPY'S LAKE has also had a blinding 2023 season with some great catches of up to 100 carp in some instances and some wonderful fish including several reaching the mid 60's. Lots of 40lb+ carp were evident however the latter part of the season did see some small fish making a nuisance of themselves. As a consequence we carried out a full netting of the lake in December 2023 where the vast majority of small fish as well as the remaining catfish were removed. In total the biomass was reduced by at least 1500 kilo which will enable the remaining stock to flourish with the richer feeding available. A full report of the netting complete with pictures was posted on Facebook and as you will see, there are a good amount of big carp to go for with some really stunning fish coming through. All the carp in this lake were born on the complex and are very young for their weight so rapid growth is likely as the 2024 season progresses.
