Pettitt's Lake - Norton Disney Venue in Lincolnshire

Pettitt's Lake represents the pinnacle of specimen carp fishing within the prestigious Norton Disney complex, establishing itself as one of Lincolnshire's most respected and challenging carp waters. This magnificent 16-acre venue embodies everything that serious specimen hunters seek - quality over quantity, stunning fish in pristine condition, and an environment that demands the very best from visiting anglers.

The stock composition at Pettitt's Lake is nothing short of exceptional, featuring approximately 200 carefully maintained carp that represent some of the finest fish in the East Midlands. What sets this venue apart is the impressive population of large fish, with around 12 specimens exceeding the magical 40lb barrier. The current lake record stands at a staggering 47lb 8oz, achieved by a magnificent mirror carp that exemplifies the quality of fish that call Pettitt's Lake home.

The lake's crystal-clear water provides both a blessing and a challenge for visiting anglers. While the gin-clear conditions allow for observation of fish behavior and underwater features, they also demand the utmost care in presentation and approach. This clarity has earned Pettitt's Lake a reputation as a thinking angler's water, where watercraft, stealth, and tactical awareness are just as important as tackle and bait choice.

The lake bed itself is a fascinating landscape of varied substrates and features that have developed over decades. The mature gravel pit foundation creates a complex underwater topography featuring prominent gravel bars that serve as natural highways for patrolling carp. The presence of several strategically positioned islands adds another dimension to the fishing, creating patrol routes, sanctuary areas, and natural feeding zones where carp feel secure while foraging.

Success on Pettitt's Lake typically requires patience, skill, and often multiple visits to establish patterns and understand fish behavior. The demanding nature of Pettitt's Lake means it's ideally suited to experienced specimen hunters and campaign anglers who appreciate the challenge of targeting truly exceptional fish. The entire Norton Disney complex provides world-class facilities that complement the fishing experience, including secure parking, modern amenities, and professional management.
