CLAVERING LAKES, LIVE ON CATCH

Clavering Lakes, specimen carp and coarse fishing in Essex

Regarded by many as a local hot spot for specimen carp and coarse anglers alike,
this was not always the case!

Life began In 1990, when the Greenall family excavated their first lake. By
1992, the venue was opened to the public with a focus on fly fishing.

The year 1997 marked another milestone as two additional lakes were dug,
creating what are now known to be the Specimen and Match Lakes. As the years
progressed, Trout Fishing was discontinued in 2005 when instead, the fishery
focused on Carp and Coarse fishing.

In 2006, the original Trout Lake underwent a transformation, splitting it into
two distinct bodies of water: the Carp Lake and the Silver Lake, each tailored
to provide unique fishing experiences.

Fast forward to 2022, Sam Greenall joined his father Peter, in partnership at
the fishery, where the next significant chapter started to unfold with
substantial investments pouring into the lakes.

This endeavour included the meticulous removal of aging fish populations and the
introduction of new, vibrant stocks, ensuring the lakes continue to thrive and
captivate anglers for years to come. Additionally, the Silver fish lake got
converted into the predator lake, where a significant stock of Catfish, Pike and
perch were introduced.

Specimen Carp Lake This winter, we undertook an extensive netting program to
transfer our larger fish into our newly developed Specimen Lake. With
significant investment in new stock and a dedicated feeding program, this lake
is set to become a standout destination in the big Carp scene with carp already
going to the 37lb Mark.

The lake features depths ranging from a deepest point of 8ft to an average of
6ft, with the shallow end at 5ft. Spanning 2.75 acres, it boasts far and near
margins, all accessible from the same bank. Walk around to the far bank to bait
up, taking advantage of the clay bottom with a few gravel spots and no silt.

Successful catches are often reported with solid bags with wafters being the
proven method, along with adjustable zigs and bottom baits. The best baits
include white pop-up hook baits, and Munch baits, as the fish are regularly fed
on these, while pellets have also shown great results. Our bailiff's top tip:
don’t ignore your close margin!

Carp Lake The Carp Lake is now exclusively stocked with Carp—plenty of Carp! By
carefully managing the fish population and removing any old or damaged
specimens, we've ensured a healthy and thriving community. This lake is a haven
for anglers, offering excellent sport for those willing to put in the effort
(and the bait!). This lake is perfect if you are after a good days sport, or
simply trying to get confidence in your rigs and tactics, before taking on the
specimen lake.

The lake reaches a depth of 14 feet at its deepest point, with an average depth
of 10 feet and shallower areas along the margins. Covering 2.5 acres, its bottom
is predominantly clay with scattered gravel patches and minimal silt. Successful
tactics mirror those used on the specimen lake, including solid bags and zig
fishing. The Carp here eagerly devour Munch baits and pellets, often resulting
in multiple fish once they start feeding.

Predator Pike, Perch & Catfish Lake Excitement is building around our newest
addition—the Catfish Lake, poised to create unforgettable fishing experiences
and expand our fishery's offerings. We're excited to announce that we've
obtained a Catfish licence from the EA and stocked the lake with Catfish
weighing up to an impressive 85lb! Alongside Catfish, we've introduced Pike and
Perch, ensuring a year-round predator fishing experience.

The lake boasts depths ranging from 14ft at its deepest point to an average of
10ft, with shallower areas along the margins. Spanning 2.5 acres, it features
both far and near margins, a clay bottom with scattered gravel spots, and no
silt. Proven tactics for Catfish include using silver fish imitations and dead
bait exclusively. Anglers have found success with baits such as squid, mackerel,
and large halibut pellets. Popping baits up off the bottom has been particularly
effective. For Catfish, use big single hooks, while wire trace trebles are
recommended for Pike.

This lake promises thrilling angling experiences and is set to become a standout
feature of our fishery.

Match Lake While the name remains unchanged, our Match lake has undergone a
significant transformation, now resembling a traditional-style match lake. We've
meticulously removed any old or damaged fish and introduced new stock across all
species.

The lake features depths reaching 16ft on one side, with shallower pockets and
an average depth of around 10ft. Keepnets are permitted for anglers. Proven
tactics on this match-style lake include feeders, poles, floats, and
wagglers—embracing traditional fishing methods.

For best results, anglers are recommended to use baits such as pellet, maggot,
and corn. A top tip from our bailiffs is to scale down your end tackle for
optimal results in this environment.

STONELAKE LODGES, LIVE ON CATCH

Lake Exclusive - Specimen carp fishing in Nottinghamshire

Stonelake Lodges presents a brand new, unique and secluded holiday retreat;
offering luxury lakeside lodge accommodation with private hot tubs, countryside
relaxation and specimen carp angling.

An exciting and exclusive setting which has been unfished for over 20 years,
Stonelake is a venue that all carp anglers must visit!

Based in Lound, Retford we are perfectly placed next to Nottinghamshire’s Idle
Valley Nature Reserve, on our own beautiful private lakes. These15 acres of
pristine lake were stocked in the late 1960s with a traditional UK strain of
both common and mirror carp.

In the 1980s, Stonelake was a syndicate water producing specimen fish up to
32lbs. The vast majority of fish have never been caught or seen a hook; in
modern carp fishing, these opportunities are few and far between. The owners
live on site and regularly see examples of fish well over 30lbs, so a new lake
record is possible at any time.

Please note: due to the residence, the total fishing area available is 5.3
acres, please refer to the lake map for information on boundaries.

Please share and upload your catch reports via the Catch App and follow us on
our social channels!

BRICK FARM TROUT LAKES, LIVE ON CATCH

Fly fishing complex in East Sussex

Originally utilised for brickworks, Brick Farm Lakes has seen various owners
over the past 20 to 30 years, gradually evolving over time. Initially, it served
as a pastime for the farmer who began selling tickets to friends, eventually
transforming it into what is now recognised as a must visit trout fishery. Under
the ownership of Phil and Dani for the last 5 years, the fishery is now
family-run, and saw a huge amount of hard work before officially opened for
anglers in 2020 as the complex it is today.

The lodge, constructed in 2013 with an oak frame and featuring amenities such as
a log burner and WiFi, offers complimentary tea and coffee, a licensed bar, and
a 5-star hygiene-rated café where anglers can enjoy bacon rolls and more. Their
stocking policy aims to introduce fish from 2 pounds upwards, with weekly
restocking and an onsite stock pond available for midweek top-ups after busy
weekends.

The fishery caters to corporate and group days, tailored to individual
requirements, including options for tuition, coaching, and more.

Brick Lake, the original lake on the site, boasts depths ranging from 5 to 18
feet. Spanning approximately 2 acres, it is characterised by swan mussel beds
and a mature environment. To ensure a tranquil angling experience, no more than
12 anglers are permitted on the lake at any given time. One of the swims on this
lake offers easier accessibility, with adjacent parking specifically allocated
for this swim.

Well Lake, with depths reaching 18 feet, spans approximately 1 acre. Its
perimeter is lined with reeds, and the lake features overhanging trees, adding
to its mature and picturesque surroundings. Typically, a maximum of 10 anglers
are allowed on the lake at any given time, ensuring a serene fishing experience.

Stag Lake is the shallowest among the complex, with depths ranging up to 12 feet
and featuring shallow margins and reed-lined shores. It's particularly suitable
for beginners, with a few overhanging trees adding to its appeal. This lake sees
nice dry fly action due to its shallowness. Typically, it accommodates around 8
anglers at any given time.

Spring Lake is the newest addition to the complex, boasting depths of up to 22
feet. It gradually deepens from the margins, featuring marginal shelves.
Covering around 2 acres, it can accommodate up to approximately 16 anglers at
once. Additionally, there are 2 more accessible swims on this lake, each with
adjacent parking exclusively for those swims.

Spring Tactics: As temperatures rise, fish move higher in the water. Damsel
nymphs, dry flies like sedges and alders, and other surface patterns are
fruitful, especially during afternoon hatches.

Summer Tactics: In hot and bright conditions, fish may retreat deeper. Employ
small buzzers and nymphs with a slow retrieve for success. However, dry flies
can still work well, particularly when there's cloud cover.

Autumn Tactics: Tactics shift back towards winter approaches as temperatures
cool. Additionally, adding daddy long legs patterns to your arsenal can yield
results.

Winter Tactics: During colder months, fish tend to be deeper, so using damsel
nymphs, cat's whisker flies, and floating or intermediate lines can be
effective.

WARDEND FISHERY, SCOTLAND, LIVE ON CATCH

Wardend Trout Fishery, fly fishing in Scotland

Welcome to Wardend Fishery, nestled in a serene valley just a short distance
south of Elgin in Northeastern Scotland.

Established in 2007 and under new ownership since 2022, Wardend Fishery
continues to uphold its reputation for pristine, spring-fed waters that nurture
robust and hard fighting fish. A must visit for all fly fishing enthusiasts! The
recent enhancements include the introduction of Golden Trout, additional Blue
Trout, and soon Tiger Trout, giving anglers a variety of species to target. We
are dedicated to maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere, emphasising
friendliness and cleanliness throughout the grounds.

For the convenience of our guests, Wardend Fishery offers onsite accommodation
that can be reserved by contacting us directly. Our fishing hut is stocked with
a variety of flies and serves hot and cold drinks, ensuring that you have
everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable angling experience.

Explore the tranquil surroundings at your leisure; whether you prefer the
anglers' shelter, benches, or our inviting picnic tables, Wardend Fishery
provides ample opportunities to relax and unwind amidst nature's beauty. We look
forward to welcoming you to Wardend Fishery, where every visit promises a
peaceful escape and memorable fishing adventure.

Wardend Fishery offers anglers a charming experience with its narrow, 5-6 acre
main loch located in a tranquil valley just south of Elgin, Scotland. The
deepest part, around 15 feet, is situated at the western end near the anglers'
shelter, while depths elsewhere range from 7 to 15 feet. Thanks to its
spring-fed source, the water maintains exceptional clarity throughout the year.
The loch holds several species of trout, including Rainbow, Brown, Blue, Golden
and Tiger Trout, with some species growing to over the 10lb mark.

The loch’s features include small reed beds scattered about, adding to the
picturesque setting. Angling tactics vary day-to-day, ensuring each visit offers
a unique challenge. From February to May, buzzers and nymphs prove effective,
transitioning to dry flies from April through September during the dry fly
season.

As autumn sets in through spring, fish tend to move deeper, requiring
intermediate lines and a slow retrieve for optimal success. Anglers benefit from
insider tips posted on a whiteboard within the fishing hut, providing real-time
updates on preferred tactics and productive fly patterns.

For those seeking an advantage, heed the bailiffs' top tip: arriving early
maximises chances of a rewarding catch. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a
newcomer, Wardend Fishery promises a memorable day with every cast. Enjoy your
time, and tight lines await!
