Celtic Lakes Resort. Lampeter.At Celtic Lakes there are six lakes with only one lake "Elysium" (lake 6) that is stocked with catfish to 60lb plus.
At over 17 acres in size, Elysium is easily the largest of the Celtic Lakes Resort waters. Developed as the venue's specimen lake, it was originally stocked with over 350 Marc Simmonds mirror carp between 4lb and 10lb and 350 common carp between 2lb and 20lb. The specimen lake has already produced carp to 32lb so it won't be long before they are tipping the magic 40lb mark. Elysium also contains over 250 catfish to 60lb+ with the average size already around the 20lb to 30lb mark.
Further big fish stockings of 70 common carp between 15lb to 20lb are scheduled for 2007 in addition to 40lb+ carp and 20lb to 60lb+ catfish. The first 60lb+ catfish stocking has recently taken place in August 2007.
The specimen lake has 40 well spaced pegs each consisting of a gravel or bark topped wooden platform, easily large enough to accommodate 2 rod pods. The pegs are so well spaced there is easily room to add a similar number of additional pegs in future.
In addition to the carp and catfish, lake 6 has been heavily stocked with roach, rudd and perch to 1lb, tench and bream to 2lb, pike to 15lb and a large quantity of koi and ghost carp around the 8oz mark, all of which are packing on the weight rapidly and are already providing some exciting angling for those not interest in those "monster carp and catfish".
Tree planting continues around Elysium to provide plenty of cover for anglers. The lake has two main islands planted with shrubs and plants, which slope down to an uneven bottom with a maximum depth of 16ft. The average depth is somewhere between 6 to 8ft. Because of the uneven bottom, it is worth spending time plumbing the depth to find the holes and hollows that the carp just love. The deepest water is in the far right hand bay from the entrance as well as round the back between the left hand bank and islands.
Who will this lake appeal to:
"Big fish" specimen hunters who love the thrill of searching out the big carp and cats as well as more general coarse anglers who want the reliability of fishing a well stocked lake for silver fish but who also want the chance of something much, much bigger !

Lakemore FisheryLakemore fishery offers an angling experience which is ideal for beginners and specimen hunters alike. With five lakes on site we offer a varied range of angling from Specimen Carp and Catfish to general pleasure angling.
Easily accessible from M6 Junction 17 yet set within idyllic and secure surroundings, Lakemore is without doubt one of the most beautiful waters you will fish at.
Lakemore Fisheries was excavated between 1981-83, the lakes were then stocked with Carp, Roach and Rudd. Over the following year's Chub, Bream and Tench were also added, then 20 years ago 115 Catfish were acquired all approximately 4 inches long. 105 of these cats were stocked into the Horseshoe and 10 stocked into the willow pool. Five years later, 25 cats were moved into the long lake. The rest is history.
Horseshoe Lake now boasts hundreds of lake bred Catfish with many of the originals now over 46lb. This is a similar story in the long lake, with all 25 cats stocked now all pushing 20 - 45lb and growing. The Carp in Horseshoe are generally in mint condition, and many landed have never been caught before. The Carp are now up to 32lb 10oz and in the long lake they are to about 27lb with several fish now pushing the 20lb barrier every year. The other three lakes being the willow pool, the golden lake and the moat, contain a wide range of general course fish with Carp to 20lb, Perch to 3.5lb, Bream to 6lb, Roach to 2lb, Rudd to 2lb, chub to 5lb, golden Tench to 2lb, Crucian Carp to 2lb and Ghost-koi Carp are present in the Horseshoe to 24lb.
