Butcombe Stones

The first real bank access comes at the end of stone cages almost opposite the Island. The lake bed in front of this area is shingle and a gentle slope provides access to deep water some 20 years out. The stone cages are a relatively recent (around ten years old) feature but can be considered a mature environment providing good bank fishing access and a number of anchoring stations and drift lines to boat fishermen.

After the High Bank, on the right-hand side of the cove, the stone cages continue towards the byewash giving good access to deep water for bank fishermen and a number of drifts and anchoring stations to boat fishermen. Bank fishermen should be aware of the footpath running immediately behind this area.
