Ever fished from a boat?

The popular Old Lake punts take up to three anglers with all their tackle in comfort for a relaxing day of exploring the lake’s nooks and crannies. The Jungle is where many boat anglers head, as this area is inaccessible from the bank, and is renowned for its big bags of tench, particularly in spring and early summer, when a dozen tench along with bream and carp is possible.

The Jungle is also the place where you will find the Old Lake’s specimen crucians, which are known to approach the British record. When winter arrives, it is the pike and zander that take over the mass of roots making up the Jungle.
