Vermuyden lake is named after the Dutch engineer responsible for the drainage of the fens and is a heavily stocked lake of some 2-3 acres. The stock includes 200+ carp to 28lb, Tench, Roach and Rudd. Very popular with anglers new to carp fishing and also experienced anglers who enjoy plenty of arm aching action. Many of the fish in this gem of a lake are into double figures.

The carp respond well to all methods but the conventional carp fishing method with boilies two rods and hair rigs will give you a much better chance of picking up the bigger ones in the lake. The lake fishes well all year through and is an excellent winter venue providing sport even in icy conditions.

Vemuyden lake has a sloping bottom going from 3-4ft in the margin on the road bank to 10-12ft on the fen side. The margin provides plenty of sport and moderate carp tackle in the 1.5lb-2.75lb test curve class with 10-15lb line is well suited to this lake.
