"I took up carp fishing in the early 90's and loved it, progressing from day ticket waters to syndicates. Unfortunately it seemed the more money I paid for my ticket the poorer the facilities provided and so, totally disillusioned, I stopped fishing. However they say that every cloud has a silver lining and my silver lining arrived in the shape of Grenvilles. Grenville lake was excavated from the early 70's through to mid 80's and had been left untouched until we obtained it in 2003.

Grenvilles is a rapidly maturing 72 acre gravel pit in the heart of rural Cambridgeshire, and the nature of the surrounding landscape means the lake is exposed to the elements, resulting in an incredibly rich lake bursting with wild life and natural food. The lake itself is heavily featured with depths up to 38 feet and a multitude of drop-offs, bars and plateaus as the map on the Lake page shows. Thousands of trees, grasses and shrubs have been planted along its 1.75 miles of fenced bank and these have matured quickly. The weed is prolific in places but not to the extent that the fishing becomes difficult.

Our aim when embarking on creating the fishery was to make a family-friendly place with sensible rules for sensible people, where anglers can relax in a safe environment and angle for big fish. Having only been open 4 years, the syndicate itself is in its infancy and there no cliques and no baliffs. Grenvilles' welcoming and peaceful atmosphere will always be one of its most valued aspects. And of course, the incredible stock of very big carp is appreciated by all too!".. Paul Ward, Owner
