The 4. 5-acre Islands Lake has been created with 12 swims in total; most can be used as doubles and don’t ignore the corners as these have proved very fruitful so far! The lake was designed to create your very own piece of water, with minimal angler conflict. It has many features, including six islands to fish to, massive margin lengths per swim due to the spits that separate the swims and many other nooks and crannies! Below the water line there is a deep hole in every swim going down from four to five feet to eight to nine feet with plenty of gravel spots, clay and gravel plateaus. You will be spoilt for choice where to fish!
