Pegs 1-20    These pegs are regularly used for matches as all matches are on this bank, and if the wind is coming from the north, the end peg could be full of fish!  All four foot deep.

Pegs 21-40    These pegs have some hidden features and if you draw the right peg and find the feature, you will bag up if you get it right!  The island is also a realistic target for casting to. Pegs 33 to 37 are on the island. All pegs are four foot deep on the pole line.

Pegs 41-60    Certain conditions can favour these pegs and they are probably the ones that get fished the least, so you will need to figure out how best to catch on these pegs. Four foot going down to 7 foot deep at peg 60.

Pegs 61-80    The water deepens underneath the electricity wires from around 7' to 15' so these can be good pegs in the cold if the fish are searching for some depth.  Otherwise try catching on the drop, or in the margins.

Pegs 81-100    When the wind comes from the South you may find the fish in the top corner around peg 80 but the whole section 80-100 have produced decent weights. All pegs are four foot deep.

Pegs 101-125    This is a well fished section with lots of feed going in around here, popular pegs include the ones opposite the island which is reachable with a good cast. Some pegs are on the back of the island, a good 90 yard chuck.  All pegs are four foot in depth again.

Although Barston Lake has been fished on and off since it was created more than 25 years ago, little is known of the original resident stocks of fish, although it had a reputation amongst locals for holding some big carp which are believed to run to more than 30lbs .

However, these fish have been supplemented with more than 14,000 small Common and Mirror Carp , and 750 Common and Mirror Carp up (all doubles!) were introduced from British Waterways' Naseby Reservoir.  These fish are now showing regularly and are stacking on the weight because Barston Lake is such a large water with plenty of natural food.  In addition to "the scar" at 30lbs 6oz there has been a rumour of a 33lb fish in 2008.

 Lots of other mid  20's have also  been caught this year too.

Barston is one of those incredibly prolific carp / match venues that, in the right conditions and on the right day, can produce massive weights. Indeed it is one of only 4 venues in the country to be in the 1000lb club during an official competition.
