Information
Dollar Lake at Gunthorpe Gravel Pits is a 28-acre gravel pit that is a haven for carp anglers looking for excellent fishing opportunities. The picturesque lake boasts a variety of features such as underwater bars, deep and shallow areas, overhanging trees, islands, and weed beds that cater to the needs of carp. The lake is home to a diverse fish population including Carp, Tench, Bream, Zander, and Pike of high quality and size, making it a dream destination for anglers looking to catch big fish. Anglers at Dollar Lake are encouraged to use a marker rod to accurately locate features and assess the underwater terrain, as well as to use bait boats on a trial basis. Strict monitoring will be in place to ensure the responsible use of bait boats, with individuals who misuse them facing a ban from the lake. This trial period for bait boats is a deviation from the usual rules at Ashfield, where bait boats are typically not permitted. Anglers are reminded to follow the guidelines and use bait boats responsibly to avoid any issues. While Dollar Lake is large and offers a range of fishing features, it may not have as many pegs (fishing spots) as expected. However, the potential for catching large fish and the variety of features make Dollar Lake a highly desirable location within the Gunthorpe Gravel Pits complex. Anglers looking for a picturesque and productive fishing experience will find Dollar Lake to be a rewarding destination for carp angling.
