Hi John

There are some bream in this lake, which I have seen caught as well as the carp.  There is also tench, dace, roach and eels apparently in the lake.  I haven't seen these caught, but then I have not particuarly been looking for these.

The carp average around 10lbs ( with the weight range I have seen caught going from 4 to 17lbs ).

As far as I know you can use keepnets on this lake, and have seen other anglers using them.

All areas of the lake can produce fish, but there are some sandbars around the lake (which are visible when the water is low) that seem to attract the carp ( I think they sunbathe around them personally).
