Heath Lake

Heath Lake has 23 swims with 12 available on the car-park bank for night sessions by prior arrangement. Many anglers travel from all over the UK to enjoy the fantastic sport in the unique setting of the unspoilt Somerset Levels Nature Reserves which surrounds Avalon Fisheries.

It has a head of quality specimen Carp with abundance of fish up to 20lb and a large stock of fish from mid to high 20s with a few fish approaching 30lbs. 24hr sessions must be booked in advance to avoid disappointment. Discounts are available for anglers booking in excess of 48 hours sessions. A large car park is situated next to the lakes for ease of access.

Please observe rules whilst fishing - failure to do so may result in you being asked to leave the fishery.

Methods

Summer - Boilies and Pellets are the number 1 bait at this time of year fished to the islands or in the margins. 8 to 10mm coarse pellets are the most popular feed baits with 12 - 15mm Halibut Pellets or 15 -18mm boilies the favoured hook baits.

Paste wrapped around the hook bait will often sort out the bigger fish

Floating baits also catch a lot of fish during the early morning or late evening.

During the colder winter months corn or bunches of maggots fished in conjunction with PVA bags will often produce fish when all other baits fail
