The crucian pedigree
Marsh Farm is the water that put big crucians back on the map. The society's members only Johnson's Lake produced the current ratified British record crucian at 4lb 12oz, and the day ticket lakes regularly turn up true crucians in the 3lb to 4lb class, fish most anglers never see elsewhere. Careful stock management keeps the strain pure, which is why crucian hunters travel from all over the country.
