Baston Big Lake is the big fish jewel of the Embryo syndicate portfolio. Previously run on an invitation only basis, it is now open to the general public. We expect the waiting list to fill quickly in view of the ridiculous stock of big and beautiful carp that reside in its windswept waters.

It feels bigger than its 20 acres, with long chucks up to the two islands on the causeway  bank and smaller casts on the field bank side, with every one of the 10 swims (in 20 acres) offering something different.

The fishing is so interesting because every ‘drop’ is different. You could be landing on gravel, sand, clay, silt or varying depths and types of weed depending on the time of year. This is a demanding, yet rewarding lake for those anglers who have done and seen it all.

If you’re a ‘wannabe’ or a ‘gonna be’ then this community is not for you as everyone has been around the block, so fishes without ego or competition. The members tell us it is so rare in today’s carp scene, fishing for mega 40’s and 50’s under such relaxed conditions without rivalries, without cliques, without bait wars etc.

You will be vetted more than usual for a membership on this incredible lake so that we maintain this unique atmosphere and protect what is arguably one of the most outstanding stocks for miles around.

Danny Fairbrass and the team at Embryo have poured their lives at souls into creating this fishery from what was basically a snaggy, fishless hole in the ground. The lake was drained almost dry 5 years ago, and every single tree or twig was removed, which also means we have incredible footage of the topography of the lake with it virtually empty.

This will be the best syndicate you have fished or ever will fish…
