Great lake to fish, so many fish showing. Tough to catch them in winter, but a great fishery overall with three lakes.

Fantastic place worth a visit with good perch, roach and carp. The owners are great, and if you play by the rules you will have a brilliant time.

Been to Alderwood many times and stayed in both cabins. Plenty of fish come out, and the lake at dusk is a lovely place to be.
