Carp Fishing In Somerset
There are many opportunities for carp fishing in Somerset, but in this article we are going to focus on the wonderful Avalon Fisheries in Glastonbury.
Avalon Fisheries: An Overview
Heath Lake now has 16 pegs across the 2 acres of water (it was previously 23 pegs, making it extremely crowded when it busy). With that being said, there is a generous stock of carp and the current lake record tipped the scales in excess of 30lb. Night fishing is restricted to a maximum of 14 pegs.
Most areas of the lake have water depths fluctuating between 3ft and 6ft and the margins are known to be particularly productive at this east Somerset fishery.
