Airfield Lakes - Spitfire lake - Mustang lake

Situated close to the Waveney Valley in South-Norfolk, this fishery has some stunning carp. The current lake record stands at 48.4lb, a truly stunning common.

The fishery is located on private farmland opposite an old second world war airdrome which is now only used once or twice a year for vintage aircraft displays. This fishery is made up of 2 lakes, one being the Spitfire Pool and the other Mustang. Spitfire is the older of the 2 at 50 years old, while Mustang is a fairly new water having only been dug in 2008.

Spitfire holds the largest carp at 48.4lb. It also has some, so far un-caught fish and this gives the lake that sense of the unknown that we all enjoy. Mustang on the other hand has been stocked with hand picked quality carp.

 

Over 200 carp have been stocked into this lake which has been specifically designed and constructed for the enjoyment of carp anglers.

This is a family run fishery, managed by Richard Wilby.

The carp in Spitfire Pool are old fish that are not particularly hard to catch if you keep rigs strong and simple. Most of the Pool’s margins drop away quickly into 4ft of water and the carp can often be found feeding just a yard from the bank.

 

In sunny conditions the fish like to cruise along the main bar down the center of the pool and you will often see them with their tails out of the water feeding on the snails and other natural food items in the silkweed. This carp venue will be hard to beat if your looking for large carp within a friendly and beautiful environment in Norfolk.
