Introducing
Holden's Lake
Norton Disney
Much like Pettitt’s Lake, Holden’s has been designed as a lower stocked, big fish style venue. Although not the easiest lake on the complex, the rewards are certainly worth it when you do get them!
The lake was stocked with 400 stunning carp from both VS Fisheries and Mark Simmond’s which are all growing very well in the deep, clear water with the lake now holding a very good head of twenties and at least 30 thirties up to a current lake record of over 43lb! There’s multiple fish set to reach this milestone at any time too, so this really is a venue to watch…
With its deep central body and shallow sloping marginal shelves, the styles of fishing on this lake can change drastically through the year. The shallow shelves can fish exceptionally well in warmer weather, and with the deeper water, you can expect the fish to feed right through into the depths of winter!
As with all of the lakes at Norton, the fish in Holden’s have been fed plenty of house pellet over the last few years and do respond very well to bait mixes that include it, so ignore it at your peril!
