Browse carp lakes by region
South East
The most heavily fished corner of the country: busy day-ticket waters, syndicate gravel pits and plenty of big-fish history within an hour of London.
South West
Fewer waters spread over more ground, with mild winters that keep carp feeding later in the year than almost anywhere else in England.
East of England
Flat, food-rich lakes and old gravel workings — some of the best-stocked and best-known carp fishing in the country.
Midlands
Reservoirs, canals, estate lakes and commercials, with strong club and syndicate coverage right across the middle of England.
North West
Meres, dammed valley lakes and well-run commercials, where windward banks and pressure changes matter more than most.
Yorkshire & the North East
Big open waters, colder springs and quieter banks, with a healthy mix of club books and day-ticket carp lakes.
