Windthorpe Pits

Windthorpe Pit in Nottinghamshire is a 15-acre lake with an average depth of 7/8ft and a mostly flat bottom with silt and gravel areas. The lake has minimal weed growth and margins that slope gradually from the water's edge. The water level is influenced by the nearby River Trent, leading to occasional fluctuations. The lake is a diverse habitat for fish species, including Carp, Bream, Roach, Perch, Pike, and sometimes Zander. Anglers also have the opportunity to fish in the 650-meter stretch of the River Trent, where Barbel, Chub, Bream, Carp, and Pike can be found. Well-spaced pegs along the lake's bank provide easy access to the water for anglers, with a gate allowing entry to the river section and parking available behind each peg. It is important for anglers to refrain from pruning or removing trees and reeds surrounding the lake, as only bailiffs in consultation with the committee are authorized to carry out any necessary maintenance or alterations to the vegetation. For further information or inquiries about Windthorpe Pit, it is advisable to contact the relevant authorities or management responsible for the venue.
