The Bowl

Arden Lakes, Ingon Lane, Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 0QF, UK

Information

The Bowl should be your destination if you’re looking for peace and quiet away from the rest of the fishery. It’s our most sheltered and secluded lake and more anglers should make the effort to spend a day experiencing what it has to offer.

Anglers who spend a day down The Bowl can expect to catch carp which average about 5lbs, with the occasional double figure fish. There is also excellent silverfish fishing with roach, rudd and skimmer bream plus the occasional small chub. The Bowl is also heavily stocked with crucain carp and many perch to 3lbs.

With the good number of silver fish in The Bowl, and its sheltered setting anglers can have a comfortable day out of the wind.
