Hidden alongside the river Thames and situated next door to the beautiful Phil’s lake is our Cables lake. Cables laid dormant until Embryo took it over in 2017. From here it was carefully fenced and swims created. Then, late into 2017 the lake received a stocking of hand picked carp. With a handful of originals (10-15 size unknown) we supplemented this low stock with an additional 65 carp to create a low stocked water with the future in mind.

Since their stocking, the carp have darkened off in the gin-clear, weedy water and shown great growth potential. With the carp stocked up to 31lb and the subsequent growth rates, it won’t be long before we see more of these stunning carp becoming targets! In fact, the bulk of the stock are now well over 20lb, with at least 30 fish over 30lb now present, including no less than eight that go over 40lb!!

The lake has many features including plateaus, gravel margins and expansive marginal reedbeds, offering the angler plenty of options. It can also get quite weedy during the height of summer so strong tackle is essential.

Both the weekday and weekend waiting lists for this venue are currently closed until further notice.

*PLEASE NOTE* We don’t allow anglers to join both Cables and Phil’s on the same rota due to their extremely close proximity to each other. You can join both lakes but it would need to be on opposite rota’s.
