Copper Horse Farm Lake
Following the passing of Pete Callow in the summer of 2026, his family have kindly agreed to allow BDAA members to continue fishing the lake until the farm is sold. We are extremely grateful for their generosity at this time.
The lake will be open to members (FOC) from 1 June to 30 September and will operate under all standard BDAA Bye Laws, with a small number of additional conditions set out below.
This is a small, 10 peg lake in a lovely rural setting holding Crucian Carp, Tench, Roach, Rudd, small skimmers and Sticklebacks.
Location Bushey Lane, Preston Bissett, MK18 4ND
