Description: Under new ownership since September 2012, the lakes will continue to be run as a quality syndicate big carp venue?. Check out our newsletters for the latest updates. Our membership is currently at capacity but interested parties can join the waiting list

A dream gold ticket venue since the late 60s Longfield (Road Lake and Fox Pool) was one of the flagship Cemex fisheries. In 2012 private owners acquired the fishery and are making significant investments in fish stocking and landscaping Fox Pool and Road Lake to ensure that the maximum potential of these waters are reached.?

Our head bailiffs have both been involved with the fishery for over 20 years and are assisted by a dedicated team of bailiffs who ensure the site is kept in top condition and members receive the best possible experience?. Navigate around the site to find out information about each lake and see pictures of the venue and of course of our stunning carp

Membership is currently at capacity but a waiting list is in operation, click here for details or email us with any queries

As new owners in 2012 many members were expecting radical changes. We want to assure everyone that the lakes were purchased based on the unique community? and qualities of bailiffs and members. We realise how special the lakes are to our members and are looking forward to continuing to offer members such a special venue for many years to come.

We won't rush into changing anything that you have got used to and enjoy but we will be clearing some areas that have been let go a bit like dead trees or trunks that have fallen into the water.

We are guided by our head bailiffs and together we are making Fox Pool and Road Lake the best that they can possibly be. We have already made significant investments in fish stocking, screening, planting and road repair and we will continue to invest to keep the lakes special and welcoming.

Fish Stock

The exact stock in fox pool has been hard to establish for many years, how ever with a lot of help from old members and existing ones we now have a good idea of our fish stocks.

Our current fish stock is around 90+ fish

There are currently 2 x 40lb+ Mirrors and 1 x 40lb+ Common.

There are around 8 other fish over 35lb including 3 x Commons.

The rest of the stock is made up of original fish many of which are over 30lb and various fish introduced in the last 2 stockings. These included fish from VS Fisheries mainly made up of the Sutton strain of carp crossed with both the Dink and Leney strain.

Current venue Records

Mirror Carp 43lb 12oz

Common Carp 46lb 2oz

Tench 12lb
