Located in Northamptonshire, the Complex consists of 6 mature lakes, including a day ticket specimen carp lake with fish to over 40lb, and a syndicate carp lake. We also have two Syndicate Lakes at Kislingbury, located just off junction 15A of the M1.

Many mid to upper twenties have been coming out and the first thirties, (two in one day) have recently...
