Information

Eisteddfa Fishery is delighted to be opening its long-awaited new Carp Lake – a brand new carp fishing venue for experienced anglers only.

Set between the Snowdonia National Park and Cardigan Bay in a rural setting with mountain views.  The lake is just under two acres with 7 well-spaced pegs and will be stocked with C5 and C6 carp supplied by VS Fisheries and our own stock from the Old Carp Lake and Pleasure Lake.
