Inworth Grange Lake 2 is a fishing club located in Colchester, New Zealand. Situated as part of the Inworth complex, this lake has recently been leased by the club. While there is still work to be done in order to establish it as a fishery, the water has already been stocked with over 900lb of fish. In May 2019, an additional 450lb of Bream were moved from Layer Pits.
A Tench stocking programme was also implemented, resulting in the introduction of around 100 Tench weighing up to 10lb. In December 2022, the club added 500 purebred Crucian Carp from the EA to further enhance the fish stock.
The main lake at Inworth Grange Lake 2 is open all year round with no close season. Toilet facilities are available on Lake 1, and due to the ongoing pandemic, users are expected to take precautions by wiping any surfaces that are to be touched before and after use. The water size at Inworth 2 includes approximately 12 swims, with ongoing maintenance work beginning in April 2023 to upgrade these swims.
While there are no designated disabled swims or facilities, members of the club should be familiar with the rules outlined in the club's handbook. It is important to note that the use of all nuts as hookbaits or loose feed is banned on all Society waters.
