Peg's Point

Peg's Point is officially the small square area some 300 yards up the North Shore from the Rugmoor gate. The area provides parking for up to 3 cars and will accommodate 2-3 anglers at top water and also provides fishing access for disabled anglers. From the bank, Peg's provides cover to depths around eight feet with an opportunity to fish "across the breeze" in the typical west or southwesterly winds.

From the boats, Peg's provides a landmark - try anchoring some 70 yards off and slightly towards the dam with winds from south to northwest and take an equivalent position on the Ubley side with north to southeasterly winds. There is also a slight bay between Peg's and Ash Tree with a trademark willow "hedge" running towards Peg's, although following work in 2004, this is a shadow of its former self. This is worth a drift in a southerly wind if the water is at top level although for bank anglers this area only becomes fishable once the water is between five and seven feet off top level. Peg's provides good fishing throughout the year but can be particularly productive at the back-end. It's also worth noting that Peg's is frequently used as a restocking point - many of the fish in the area may not have been on the lake for too long!
