The Stock: Exclusive, Pristine, and Full of Potential

Compton’s Lake is home to approximately 80 hand-selected carp, including specimens already tipping the scales at over 50lb, and they’re still growing. The lake was restocked in December 2022 with healthy, fast-growing carp – and they’re thriving. In 2023 and 2024, anglers reported average catches of 15–20 carp per week, with some weeks exceeding 25!

Because we’re committed to carp welfare and natural growth, the lake is only open for bookings 10 weeks a year – during May, June, September, and October, with a full week’s rest between sessions. The result? Hard-fighting, rarely caught carp in outstanding condition.

Delicious food package – Breakfast, lunch, and a hearty evening meal with dessert
