  Depth figures are not published for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most.

Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Anyone new to Gregor Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Kearney Lake sits 0.2 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Gregor Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
