Stock/Float Pond
If you are new to fishing then the float pond is an ideal place to spend a few hours learning the craft. An abundance of smaller fish up to 2lbs are easily caught on a simple float rod – ideal for more experienced anglers to introduce new recruits into the sport.
Please check with a member of the Sam’s Lakes team before you start fishing here.
