Billy's Lake is a stunning 27-acre runs water situated within the prestigious Norton Disney complex in Lincolnshire, now expertly managed by Embryo Angling. This highly productive venue represents the epitome of modern carp fishing, offering anglers an exceptional opportunity to experience consistent action coupled with the chance of landing some truly impressive specimens. The lake's reputation as a prolific runs water is well-founded, being home to over 1,100 carefully selected carp that provide non-stop entertainment for visiting anglers.
The stock composition is particularly impressive, featuring a substantial head of hard-fighting twenty-pound fish alongside an ever-increasing population of thirties, with the current lake record standing at an impressive 39lb. This substantial growth in average weights demonstrates the excellent fishery management and optimal feeding conditions that Billy's Lake provides for its resident carp population.
The lake's topography is one of its defining characteristics, featuring a wonderfully uneven bed that's packed with natural and man-made features. These underwater structures create numerous patrol routes, feeding opportunities, and holding areas that keep the carp active throughout the water column. From shallow gravel bars to deeper silt gullies, the varied lake bed ensures that no two sessions are alike, offering anglers multiple tactical approaches depending on weather conditions and seasonal patterns. The central island provides an excellent focal point for angling, creating natural highways where carp frequently patrol while also offering shelter and feeding opportunities in the deeper water channels that surround it.
With 22 strategically positioned swims, Billy's Lake accommodates a good number of anglers while still maintaining comfortable spacing and reducing pressure on the fish. Each swim has been carefully designed to provide multiple casting opportunities, allowing anglers to target different areas of the lake bed and adapt their approach based on fish activity and weather conditions. The swim spacing also ensures that social fishing sessions can be enjoyed without interference, making it perfect for groups of friends or family fishing trips.
The lake benefits from the exceptional facilities that Norton Disney is renowned for, including the on-site lodge, comprehensive tackle shop, cafe facilities, and modern shower and toilet blocks. The entire complex is fully otter-fenced and monitored by CCTV, providing peace of mind for anglers and ensuring the protection of the valuable fish stocks. Billy's Lake truly embodies the best of modern commercial carp fishing, combining high stocking densities with quality fish, excellent facilities, and professional management to create an experience that appeals to anglers of all skill levels, from those seeking their first twenty-pounder to experienced specimen hunters targeting the growing population of thirty-pound-plus residents.
