Dollar Lake at Gunthorpe Gravel Pits... This lake is a carp anglers dream some 80+ acres of gravel pit that has everthing a carp could possibly want masses of water under water bars deep areas shallow areas overhanging trees islands, weed you name it. The fish in hear go very big The Carp/Tench/Bream and pike are quality.

The methods are as you would expect really, a marker rod is an essencial bit of kit here. Bait boats will be allowed BUT will be monitered and if abused the owner of the boat will be banned not the boat. Be warned! This is a trial period as Ashfield rules do not allow them normally but under the circumstances we feel we can give it a test period.

The pegs around the lake are not as many as you would expect taking the size of the lake in to account, but thats the way it will stay we don't want another A1 Pits here. One angler per peg only if you want to have a social go to the A1 pits or the pub but not here! Strictly no cutting trees or reeds at any time this is a wildlife reserve and this will be done by the bailiffs after prior consultation with the committee and Severn Trent Farms.

The complex is huge and it will take time to sort out. As you approach the lake the track to the right goes around to the river Trent section and at the far corner splits into two ALL VEHICLES must NOT take the LEFT track this is foot traffic only as it is not safe for vehicle and members doing so risk being banned from the club. There as been in the past fires BUT! we do not allow fires at any time only for caretaking purposes again after being discussed by the committee. BE WARNED!

Members are permitted to fish FP, Duffers, Tench lake and Dollar lakes only as well as the whole of the river section of the river Trent. KINGFISHER LAKE is syndicate members only and NOT OPEN to regular members.
