The Top Lake is our exclusive booking only specimen carp fishing lake

We have a varied selection of pristine common and mirror carp as well as some of the most beautiful ghost carp in the country. The mirror carp are descendants from the original Croatian fish which Phil hand reared from 2-3" fish over 18 years ago. Some of these original fish are now over 45lb and have the genetics to achieve 50-60lb+ fish with the right conditions and quality fishmeal boilies. Over the years the fish have naturally spawned with the ghost carp which has produced some stunning colours and scale patterns. One such fish is Orange Spot which is now around 28-30lb and a much sought after fish to tick off the list. Fishing on the top lake is not the easy and can be frustrating at times but the rewards are there. We do offer advice but it is entirely up to you if you want to take it onboard. Our beautiful carp fight hard in the oxygen rich water and then once safely netted you will see they are in immaculate condition, testiment to the HNV fishmeal boilies they are fed and the attention to detail with water quality and the aquatic environment.
At present we have had 7 different 40s reported during 2024 with the biggest verified weight at just over 45lb. There are several different known carp over 30lb now with plenty of 20s and lots of stunning new scaley carp growing on each year thanks to our successful spawnings and fishery management.

Fishing on the Top Lake, as with the other lakes, is by advance booking only. Bookings can be made by email or WhatsApp only and a 50% deposit is required before any bookings are secured. No deposit, no booking.

Please note: we have a minimum 0.40 line rule due to the nature of our hard fighting big carp, especially the common carp. A large high sided unhooking mat or at least an XL beanie type mat is a must have item, along with a 42” minimum landing net, a retaining sling to transport fish from the water to the mat and some form of fish care kit to treat hookholds etc.

Every angler should have some sort of a bucket to be able to quickly fill with FRESH lake water to pour over the fish and keep it wet at all times. This should be something every carp angler automatically does however, sadly this this does not always happen! So this is a note to anyone that does not know to keep fish wet at all times. If the fish is all foamy on the matt you are not keeping it wet enough, pour more water over the fish. Please look after our fish as they are extremely valuable and treated like our pets. Be mindful with them on the bank so they can remain healthy with as little stress as possible.

We have stopped the use of particle baits for 2026 so please don’t bring them with you.

Bait boats can be used, please use them responsibly.

Thank you
