Lakeside Fishery in Ranskill is one of the most consistent fisheries in the region with its abundant stocks of both silver fish and carp making it a true all year round hotspot. There are three pleasure and match fishing pools, the main match lake and two smaller strip ponds as well as a specimen lake and a trout pool. The match lake, where we’ll be fishing today, contains thousands of ide, which are great year round feeders, skimmers of all sizes, chub and of course plenty of carp. What I love about the venue is that it is such a mixed fishery that isn’t dominated by the carp with matches regularly won by anglers specifically targeting the silver fish.
