Tumbling bay lake is a large 17+ acre mature lake set within the quiet surroundings of a 23 acre private country park with depths up to 16 feet. The lake is located between Ware and Hardmead, positioned between the Old River Lea and the River Lea Navigation.
Being a vast area of water the stock levels are relatively unknown, with reports of large Carp and Pike being caught throughout the years.The lake itself has many features from islands to gravel bars and silt beds along with a number of fishy snags and various other underwater features. The fishing is by no means easy, but adopt the correct method and at the right time and place you can have some big hits.
It is an all the year round fishery and night fishing with some restrictions is permitted. With over 30+ natural secluded and spacious swims available that are fished on a first come first serve basis there is plenty of room for everyone enjoy.
