Description: Lake View Syndicate is a stunning, mature 6 acre estate lake set in the heart of Sussex near the town of Crawley. In 2019 the lake was taken over by Aquamaintain Ltd, a local fishery management consultant and contractor, who embarked on a complete renovation of the site. This included management of the existing fish stocks to remove the smaller Carp and introduce hand-selected specimens from some of the UKs most renowned fish suppliers. The lake has also undergone a complete overhaul of the previously impoverished and overgrown site. New fencing, paths and swims now adorn the fishery making it an attractive and comfortable venue for its members to fish. Lake View is now operated as an exclusive, members-only syndicate for a limited number of anglers per season.
