Deepings No.1 White House Fishery
Deepings No.1 White House Fishery is a carp lake based in Langtoft, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom. It has a stock of around carp and is 6 Acres in size. The biggest carp is over 50lb+
The lake was originally excavated for gravel in the late fifties and was initially used for trout farming, but was turned into a trout fishery in the mid eighties and run as a put and take trout fishery until its acquisition by the current owner in November 2000. The lake has been extensively remodelled over the last 5 years with a comprehensive planting program and the introduction of 17 man-made swims built to be sympathetic to the nature of the lake and its surroundings.
The lake is 6 acres set in 10 acres of land and is fully fenced. Formerly two lakes depths vary between 2 feet over the old walkways and 12 to 14 feet holes in the old trout net areas, 3 islands, various weed beds and lily pads are present in the lake which all add to the to complexity and pleasure of the fishing.
THE FACILITIES
The fishery benefits from a large fenced secure car park adjacent to the lake, which is visible from all the swims. Toilet and shower are also provided along with a members lodge with coffee making and full cooking facilities.
THE FISH STOCK
The original stock of carp from the Deepings No.2 lake were moved over to the main lake in the late autumn of 2001 and have been left un-disturbed until the start of the season on the 16th June 2003. The original stock consisted of 38 fish between 18lbs and 29lbs, both mirrors and commons. In addition, we have stocked a further 37 fish up to 23lbs from the Walthamstow complex of lakes. In November 2005 we introduced 10 No. Fishers Pond C5 mirror carp between 16 and 20lbs. The lake currently contains between 50 and 60 carp to 58.1/2lbs which are much sought after by the membership.

THE FISHING
Due to the stock density and naturally prolific food source in the lake the fishing is far from easy to date no carp have been caught over the winter months. With a limited close season, fishing is available for almost 50 weeks of the year.
