Sadie’s Lodge is designed to accommodate two people comfortably and is the perfect upgrade from a bivvy. Sadie’s lodge is situated in the southeast corner of the lake with a large two-tier decked area to the front, offering a lovely view of the lake and it’s wildlife. This swim will occupy a minimum of 1⁄5 (20%) of the main lakes water and has accounted for many of the largest catches on The Mead. To the left of the swim is a nice bay area where our inlet is located, along that same margin line going away from you, there is a shelf that is around 4 feet deep and comes out around 20 feet from the edge of the bank it then drops off into around 7-8 feet of water. Sadie’s also has access to the main central island which can be a haven for the carp to hold up in as this island is also lily and reed lined. The island itself has a sloping shelf that drops off into approximately 7 feet of water, To the right side of the swim you have the close margin which runs adjacent to you, this is also lily-lined and produces many big fish. Open water also produces many of the bigger carp. When fishing from Sadie’s Lodge, you will be fishing from a decked platform on the water, you will need to bring either stage stands or a rod pod to fish from this lodge. Approximately 20 meters away, there is Sadie’s very own shower room. The shower room is fully equipped with a shower cubicle, toilet, sink, and electric heater, and this shower room can also be used as a drying room.
