The renowned ‘Main Lake’ holds a exclusive reputation for housing impressive specimens, with carp exceeding 50 pounds.
The lake is carefully stocked and managed to ensure optimal growth and health of the fish population. This attention to detail not only enhances the angling experience but also contributes to conservation efforts.
Each session spans four week nights or three weekend nights, providing ample time for anglers to immerse themselves in this tranquil environment while pursuing their passion. This format caters both to seasoned fishers and those new to the sport, permitting ample opportunity to hone skills and tactics in a serene setting.
With its impressive stock of carp, the challenge of deep-water fishing, and the recent introduction of exclusive four-day ticket bookings, it provides an unparalleled opportunity for anglers to experience “the folly”.

I have fished the small lake for some time now but I have finally managed to bank this one just as my season ticket was to run out in May 2025. Thanks to Nick at the Folly I hope to visit next year. Paul
