Single lake or total number of pegs on the complex as a whole?

Makins used to be one of the biggest; I won a 120 pegger there and we only used part of Phase 1 if I remember rightly (it was a long time ago). At the time Phase 3 was still under development.

It's quoted at over 500 pegs now.

Yea, if worst comes to the worst, I'll fill in the grand canyon.

I am trying to source a big fishery for a BIG fish in yes.

You would be lucky to get 30 off here Will, in the good old days the best we had was about 30 anglers

North Yorkshire.
The two big commercial complexes up this neck of the woods are Woodlands and The Oaks. There's not a great deal of web published information on Woodlands but what can be found suggests 380 pegs on 13 lakes. That might not be up to date. The Oaks has 334 pegs but that doesn't include three new dedicated match lakes which are only used on certain days. Their website doesn't say how many pegs there are on each one. A conservative 20 pegs on each takes the whole complex to just shy of 400 pegs.

I understand Mr morespiders, but I'm good at herding cats....this I imagine would be similar.
Lets see what occurs.
