Langholme Lake History
As the months rolled on, and in true carper's style, pegs earned their names.
Providing Names
To the Eastern side, is a part of the lake which appeared to be totally flat, however, there were one or two pockets of features which anglers would fish to. Flat, pockets? The peg just had to be named the Snooker Table - and so it was. There were some more obvious names for pegs. Entrance Bay, The Island and Finger Bay were just crying out to be christened with their names, as was the biggest peg on the lake - The Ballroom. West Wind, so named because if the regular howling gales it faces, is one of the newer pegs on the lake, with The Carp Arc being the newest, replacing the old Farmer's Peg. Other names still leave anglers wondering about the origins. White Bucket, for example, or Pinky & Perky's baffle the newer members as to how those pegs got their names. Either Pinky, or Perky will tell you if you ask!
