The Oaks Lakes, Sessay were opened in 1994. We originally opened with 1 lake; Willows. In 1996 we added the Oaks and Firs Lakes , followed in 1998, by Alders Lake ; this was soon followed by Poplars Lake , Maple Lake and the newly opened Cedar Lake (opened in November 2003). There are 4 main match lakes at The Oaks; Cedar (matches only), Poplar, Maple and Alders. The other 3 lakes, Firs, Oaks and Willows are always open to allow pleasure fishing. Pleasure fishing can also take place on Poplars, Maple and Alders providing that no matches are taking place. There is a notice to the entrance to the fishery providing information about which lakes have matches booked/taking place.
