Broome Waters
Below are all the Waters either owned or controlled by Broome A.S. and available to all of our Members
Colver lake, Frisby Complex
To the left is Colver Lake. The lake was the first to be excavated when Broome purchased the Frisby Complex. It has 46 fishing pegs including two dedicated disabled pegs. The lake gas a mixed range of fish, but predominantly Carp in the 1lb to 5lb size range. There are also a good head of Skimmer Bream, Roach, Perch also a few Barbel and Chub. It can be a very prolific lake with weights in excess of 100lb in the warmer months. Best methods are Long Pole, feeder or waggler.
Jasons Lake, Frisby Complex
Jasons Lake, to the right, started life as one small lake. This was later excavated by Jason Farmery and a few others (Hence the name Jasons Lake). Another much larger lake was dug out next to the original with a channel made between the two lakes to form, essentially, one lake. There are 21 fishing pegs on Jasons. The lake contains some sizeable Carp going up to around the 15lb mark. A good head of Skimmer Bream with a few bigger specimens can be caught on most pegs. Long Pole, Feeder and Waggler tactics are the most common methods used on Jasons.
Smiggies Lake, Frisby Complex
Smiggies Lake was the last lake at Frisby Complex to be developed. The lake has 31 fishing pegs. Smiggies was intended to be a silver fish lake, and has a large head of Skimmer Bream. There are also good stocks of Ide, Tench, Crucian Carp and lots of small to medium sized Roach. There is also a small amount of big Carp that tend to live tight to the far bank. The lake has a pronounced near and far bank shelf. The deep water bewtween the shelves is around 5 and 6ft depth. Best Fished with Pole, waggler or quiver tip to the far bank.
B.Js Lake, Frisby Complex
B.Js Lake was one of the original Lakes on the Frisby Complex. It is much the same layout as when the Complex was first purchased. It was originally fullk of small Jack Pike. Over a number of years these have been thinned out. There are still Pike in the lake including some sizeable specimens. The lake also contains a good head of Bream and Skimmer Bream, Tench and some bigger Carp.
Jurassic Lake, Frisby Complex
Jurassic is where the big boys live! It is the only lake on either of the Broome complex’s where “boilies” are allowed. There are Carp in the lake going up to high 20’s and maybe even low 30’s. There is also a good head of Pike in the Lake. The winter Pike League is fished on this lake. Possibly surprising but there is also some good sized Bream, all be it very elusive! Jurassic is one of the original lakes on the complex and one that the Specialist’s like to “bivvy up” for an overnight session.
Sanctuary Lake, Frisby Complex
Sanctuary Lake, or the “L shaped” lake as it is sometimes called is a lake that lends itself to the pleasure angler who like to “get away from it all”. There are hidden pegs around the back of the lake. This lake fishes best when there are not too many anglers on it at the same time. The lake has a good stock of Skimmers, Roach, Ide, Tench and Carp.
Lizzies Lake, Kilworth Complex
Lizzies Lake is an open lake at Kilworth Sticks complex. There is a large island in the middle of the lake. The island tends to be an area where some large Carp hang out and provides a good target when ledgering. The carp can also be caught on traditional methods and by Pole Fishing. Make sure that you have strong tackle as some of these fish really do pull back!! Toward the end of a session it can be good to fish in the margins as some of the bigger fish often come in, later on, to find out what bait is on offer!
Currans Loop, Kilworth Complex
As the name suggests, Currans, is a rugby ball shaped lake with and island in the middle. It has varying widths from roughly 11 meters to 16 meters making it an ideal float fished water. Although many do fish the lake with a light ledgering set up. There are 30+ pegs around the lake making it popular for Matches and pleasure fishing. There is a bridge across to the island but fishing from the island is prohibited
Lambies Snake, Kilworth Complex
Lambies Snake is a small snake lake that has around 15 pegs on it. most of it is quite narrow making reaching the far bank quite easy. Sadly this lake has suffered from predation over the years and stocks are not so high as they once were. Some restocking has taken place and it remains to be seen whether this little lake can recover.
Admirals Pool, Kilworth Complex
Admirals Pool was de-silted a while ago in an attempt to clear the stiffling weed growth. It was stocked with lots of small Roach, Skimmers, Rudd and there are usully plenty of bites to be had. The weed has returned, somewhat, but if you find a clear spot you can have a busy days fishing on Admirals.
Buffalo Loop, Kilworth Complex
Buffalo Loop was once a continuous loop lake. After a recent de-silting and general deepening of the lake in order to try to control weed growth, a barrier was formed at one end.
Brians Pool, Kilworth Complex
Brians Pool is situated at the back of Buffalo Lake. It does nto have any fixed pegs, but it has become popular for the variety of fish in there. It is peaceful and quite, just the place for a nice pleasure session.
Hill Farm, Frolesworth
This water is situated on the Road between Frolesworth and Claybrooke Magna. Half a mile outside Frolseworth turn right into Hall Farm. Follow unmade road over two cattle grids. Lake in valley to the right. Contains Crucian, Common and Mirror Carp, Roach and Bream. Barbless hooks only. Groundbait is allowed but only in feeders and pole cups.
Flash Farm, Narborough
Flash Farm is a section of the upper River Soar.
This water is situated on the A4114 Coventry Road between Narborough and Croft Quarry. After passing the buildings, going out of Narborough toward Croft Quarry; the road crosses the River Soar. Next turn, on the right, is Flash Farm.
Vehicles can be parked near to the farm buildings. DO NOT obstruct any gates or access to any farm buildings. Please park sensibly!
Fishing is from the A4114 road bridge upstream, to the end of the first field past the farm buildings; as indicated in your membership book. As usual please close any gates.
This water is best fished in the winter months when some of the weed has died back and preferably when a little extra water may be running through. Chub, Roach, Dace, Perch, Barbel and the occasional Brown Trout….which must be returned to the water alive! can all be caught here.
