Railway Lakes
Whittlesey
Peterborough
Cambridgeshire

Railway Lakes conprises of two lakes covering 2.5 acres. The first lake being the largest and deepest, with depths dropping to 35 feet. . The main stock in this lake is carp which have been caught up to 30lb plus. Popular baits on the deep lake are pastes and sweetcorn but maggots will catch carp up in the water in the summer. The shallow lake is smaller but houses a huge amount of fish including tench, bream, roach, rudd and perch and carp from a few onces to well into double figures. The main method on this water is to fish the pole at four metres from the bank. This water is very popular with match and pleasure anglers alike. Weights often run up into double figures. Because of the depth the water responds well to either pole or waggler using maggots or sweetcorn as bait.
