Shallow Pit
Situated on our premier complex in Langtoft Fen, Baston, The Shallow Pit is a 14-acre lake that, as it’s name suggests, is relatively shallow with average depths of just 4-5ft, going down to 6-7ft in places.
The lake holds in the region of 280 cracking, fast-growing carp from Priory Fisheries, VS and Mark Simmond’s, with a lovely mix of plain, deep-bodied mirrors, linears and scaly ones, with a good few commons too! Test fishing has been very light, but most of the fish currently seem to be in the 18-25lb bracket, although there are definitely some better ones amongst them!
A couple of winters ago, we drained the lake down and completely re-landscaped the lakebed, creating some lovely sub-surface features for anglers to fish to, as well as six small islands to break the lake up a bit and give some visual dividers for each swims’ water.
The Shallow is a booking venue whereby anglers are booking up to five double swims, meaning a maximum of ten anglers can fish the venue at any one time.
Anglers can book on Baston Shallow Pit in 48-hour slots starting on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday. To book, simply call the Embryo office on 01268 285987 and pay by card.
