Homersfield Lake holds an important place in carp fishing history. The lake was developed by our family following the creation of Waveney Valley Lakes in 1962, recognised as the birthplace of the modern-day carp angler and the blueprint for carp fisheries across the UK. Building on our experience at Waveney Valley Lakes and our carp farm at Fishers Green in Essex, we set out to create something truly special here at Homersfield.

In 1980, we stocked over 3,000 carp from our Essex fish farm, where we had developed our own unique bloodline. These carp were stocked not only in our own waters but also in numerous fisheries across the UK. Since then, we have maintained growing-on ponds at Homersfield, allowing us to continue breeding and improving the carp bloodline before restocking the lake.

Carp naturally bred in the lake are now reaching nearly 60lbs, reflecting the quality of our bloodline and the productivity of the lake. Overall, Homersfield holds a large head of carp, ranging from 10lbs to over 50lbs, which we continue to maintain through natural breeding and our growing-on ponds.
