Nethergrove Lake - Longstanton - B1050

I have been reliably informed that a Pike lurks in our lake over at Longstanton.  The snapper is about a foot long and enjoys feeding on the multitude of Roach and Rudd.  Apparently on one occasion in the summer it was so eager to catch a Rudd on the surface that it leapt clear out of the water on to the bank which quite startled the angler at the peg.  The thing is that either someone has put it in to the venue or just like the Roach Rudd and Perch it is natures way.  It has been nicknamed Billy, yes Billy-No-Mates.  We netted the venue twice last year to check on stocks and it did not appear and I have not seen it myself but will keep an eye out.  It could grow quite big as it is only competition for the Perch and the two big eels.

Nethergrove Lake is owned by CFPAS and was refurbished and restored in 97/98. A wonderful venue, the site is approximately 3 acres with the Lake itself around 1 acre.
