Good old hook lake. It still holds a place close to my heart. The first syndicate I ever joined. Must be nearly 25 years since I've walked it's banks.

Still a lovely place mate

I used to fish there almost 40 years ago. It was slightly smaller at 1 1/2 acres and reed lined at the shallow end. All the carp were 10lb+ as apart from a little 8lb common, the best was a 29 I think. It was really tough, blank days and weeks were the norm. It was owned by Fourways Fisheries as I recall. Im not sure how many tickets they sold, but it was often really packed, too many for such a small lake, but a bit quieter in the week days. When it got dark, boy was it dark, being tree lined and no lights anywhere. It definitely had a real "lost in time" atmosphere like nowhere else I fished before or since...

I told my sons about this lake and the noises that used to come from the woods at night! 😂

Nice to see these little British gems mate.... It's not all about pounds and ounces... We have history!

This was my last syndicate before I left the Uk. Loved the place. Never saw a ghost. The carp were always well up for a floater.

Beechmere in Devon of confessions of a Carp Fisher by B.B fame, is the most eerie haunted lake I have ever been too.

@@petra2885 If nobody has ever actually been to the old copper mine, they really cannot get a sense of just how the atmosphere is creepy during daylight hours, after dark it becomes a whole other level of dark and eerie. As if the woods become alive with spirits and the ghosts who wonder that woodland. No other place I have been comes close to that place. It is a whole other level of creepy. It will test anyone's resolve staying overnight at the old flooded copper mine. What a place. This lake looks like a picnic site in comparison.

I think the guy who told the story about the lake in Oswestry was relaying Robs story and didn't realise he was telling it to the person that started the story.

Oh wow two of my favourite things! The paranormal and fishing! Right up my street! And a stunning old English estate lake to boot! I'd much rather see an apportion of a boy than some bloke screaming at me haha now I just need to find 5 other anglers to tolerate me for a few days 👻👻👻

I used to fish a small lake, more of a pond really, in a hollow in the hills. The only access was through woodland, so there was no quick escape route. In all the times I fished it I only ever saw one other angler, and him only on two occasions. It was the quietest place I ever fished, too, you could hear a twig break on the opposite side. It was a genuinely unnerving experience being there, but it had decent carp and some huge roach. I once took relatives for a walk round it, and without me saying anything they all wanted to leave immediately. I subsequently found out it had a reputation for being haunted, which didn't surprise me in the least!

Booton in Norfolk I know people that won’t fish it ever again it’s shit them up so much

never seen any ghosts while fishing but i did have sleep paralysis whilst fishing in a peg that an old boy had died in years before, he was an old tench angler that hated carp anglers. i woke up in the early hours and could not move, i was sweating and the air was thick and had a sickly feeling to it but nothing was there, it lasted probs no longer than 30 seconds but that was enough for me, i packed up in the dark and left, i never fished that side of the lake again. f that.
