Tees Valley Lakes
Eagle
Eagle Lake is a unique, man-made carp fishing destination that has become a haven for anglers and wildlife alike. Originally a barren, neglected motocross track, it has been transformed into a beautiful and productive fishery thanks to dedicated conservation efforts and thoughtful planning. The lake is stocked with high-quality VS Carp, which have flourished in the rich environment and now regularly reach weights of up to 35 pounds. Anglers are restricted to fishing from the south bank only, ensuring a peaceful experience without the disturbance of casting across to other anglers. This approach also helps to preserve the opposite bank as a natural sanctuary.
The transformation of Eagle Lake is remarkable. What was once a featureless hole in the ground when first dug is now a thriving ecosystem. Extensive planting of over 800 trees, reeds and other aquatic vegetation has created a diverse habitat for the fish and a wide range of wildlife, including waterfowl and insects. This dedication to conservation has not only improved the fishing but has also created a stunning natural escape for those who visit.

History
Construction of this lake began in September 2015. The carp stock for Alpha had been on order for 3 years previous and arrived in January 2016 where they were stocked temporarily into Eagle lake. Here they were left unfished for a season and fed allowed to settle.
Initial carp stocks were from the finest strain of English carp being Sutton, Leney, Harrow and Dinkesbuehl carp strains. stocked at a higher average fish weight with the lowest stocked at 10lb to 18lb these carp have seen good growth rates in only 2 years from opening with fish now to 28lb Further stocking of 20lb+ carp have been added in the winter of 2019 to compliment the growing number of 20lb+ taking the stock level to 125 carp.
Eagle is a lake with more chance of a multiple catch of quality carp on the complex for specimen anglers. stocked at a ratio of 50 carp per acre to provide plenty of action in this lake. Supplementary feeding will be carried out to ensure these carp receive the best nutritional needs ensuring they continue to grow reaching their potential weights.
