About This Venue

Monument 1 at RH Fisheries is a premium 8.6-acre day ticket carp fishery in Shropshire, created in 2002. This specially designed lake holds 350 carp including 85+ fish over 30lb and 14 over 40lb, with the lake record "The Kraken" at 65lb 04oz. The clay-based lake features uniform depths of 6-7ft with a 2ft marginal shelf, offering 15 stone-chipped swims and excellent facilities including disabled access, power showers, and 24-hour CCTV security. After being drained and renovated in 2016, the removal of underwater features means carp now move constantly around the lake, making all swims consistently productive throughout the year.

πŸ—ΊοΈ Lake Features

Topography

Clay-based bottom lake created in 2002. In 2016 the lake was drained dry and all underwater features removed to prevent carp holding in specific areas. The lakebed now features two types of clay - smooth soft areas and rock-hard polished areas. Depth is uniform at 6-7 feet throughout with a 2ft deep marginal shelf around the entire lake that drops off a rod length out.
