XL CARP 2011
The fishing experience
xL Carp history Fryerning Fisheries, the home of XL Carp, was set up over 25 years ago when owner Chris Knowles excavated the Main Lake, intending to create a centre of excellence for Carp fishing. Much has been added in subsequent years, including two smaller lakes, a lodge and a state-of-the-art hatchery dedicated to breeding top-class English fish. XL Carp has worked closely with others, including manufacturers, suppliers and government agencies, to develop the facilities to the superb standard our members enjoy today and that set a benchmark for the sport.

Valley Lake The Valley Lake has a maximum depth of twelve to thirteen feet and an average depth of eight feet, containing plenty of features including a excellent thirty to forty meter bar. It is stocked with 6 x 30-37lb, with around 100 x 20lb – again, English fish from our hatchery that are bred in accordance with the latest aquaculture techniques. The quality of fishing in this water is just as high as in the larger lake and is suitable for all levels in the sport – from beginners to intermediates to experts.
“Since my first visit back in 1994, Fryerning has gone from strength to strength. It’s definitely one of the top carp venues in the country!”
Chris Ball Director Carp Talk
Carpark Lake The Car Park Lake is intimate, reed-lined water and, as it is shallower (3-9ft) than the Main Lake, it is highly suitable for floater fishing. The lake is stocked with 4 x 30lb, plus around 40 x 20lb for you to pit your wits against. The hand-reared English fish in this lake are some of the best on the complex and come from our bespoke hatchery. With the right genetics we are achieving a phenomenal growth rate from egg to 30lb in 10 years, ensuring the waters will always be wellstocked at Fryerning.
“Big carp, including old characters and young 30s packing on the weight! Fryerning is peaceful with no security worries. Carp heaven in the Essex countryside!�
