Crockerton Lake
Situated on the A350 south of Warminster on the Southleigh trading estate next to Crockerton garden centre. This is the clubs most popular venue. Parking at the bottom left hand corner of the car park, left of the garden centre. PLEASE DO NOT PARK INSIDE THE GATE.
The lake has twenty swims and you can fish from dawn to dusk. Night fishing by prior arrangement and must be booked in advance through the club shop. The lake was an old brickyard and varies in depth from a couple of feet to fifteen feet plus. Peg one is quite shallow and the bottom is stony, as you move down the lake towards the island the depth increases with peg seven being the deepest on this side of the lake. As you go around the back of the island it gets shallow with pegs ten, eleven and twelve being the shallowest. These are not good winter pegs but come into their own from late spring when the water warms up until late autumn, early winter when it cools down again. Peg thirteen is the last of the shallow swims with pegs fourteen to twenty the deepest.
​
The lake contains rudd, roach, perch, carp, tench, bream and eels. During the warmer months the water will boil with silver fish, these are easy to catch close in on the waggler or pole, loose feeding maggots little and often. Change to a bigger bait to pick out the better fish. The bream are taken on the feeder, worm, bread and pellets being the favoured baits. The tench are caught on larger baits close in using corn, bread and meat. The carp here go to the mid-twenties catching on the usual carp methods
A toilet is provided on the lakeside and would ask you to please leave the toilet as you would expect to find it.Fishing is only permitted in the left hand lake. Fishing is not permitted on the lake directly behind the garden centre. Any member found breaking this rule will face disciplinary action and may be banned from the club.
