Stanton Harcourt opened in the summer of 2015. The venue boasts around twenty stunning carp over the 30lb barrier with the best couple now pushing 40lb. Truth be told though, this venue is so much more than pounds and ounces. The carp are old and among them are a wide array of mirrors: dumpy ones, leathery ones, linears and scaly ones plus some beautiful woodcarving commons to over 30lb! In the winter of 2016/17 we added a handful of hand picked fish to compliment the existing stock and ensure a bright future for the lake.

The friendly syndicate ensures a vibrant social scene around the lake with no shortage of tea and biscuits consumed! Although not what you’d classify as a classic winter water the lake does have fantastic winter form. With gin-clear water , depths varying from 4-12ft, big reed beds, margin features and gravel humps along with inviting silt gullies and all the swims commanding good amount of water. The lake has something for everyone.
