Lake 1 - KINGFISHER
The most popular water at Birch House Lakes, Kingfisher is about two acres in size and holds 35 pegs. The nearest water to the car park next to the Fishing Lodge, it holds a comprehensive range of fish and is suitable for all styles of fishing.
Kingfisher is shallowest at each end of the lake where there is an abundance of water lilies in about four feet of water. A ledge runs around the whole lake before the banks slope gently down to a maximum of about seven feet along the centre.
In summer, margin fishing with floating bread or dog biscuits is popular all the way round the lake, although anglers are not allowed to loose feed floating baits as these can drift into other anglers swims.
​
A popular pole and waggler water, Kinfisher is also a good water to fish the swimfeeder or Method feeder in the deeper water. During the mornings most anglers tend to fish on the bottom and come up in the water in the afternoon catching fish at only a foot below the surface.
