Swarkestone gravel pit, situated not far from the A50 just south of Derby, set in stunning countryside this 79 acre lake is renowned for producing big fish. Due to the size and low stock this lake has never been an easy nut to crack. So what do we know about the stock, well we have been made aware of over 100 captures so far this year plus those that have not told us. This is far more than we ever
