Located in Northamptonshire, the Complex consists of 6 mature lakes, including two day ticket specimen carp lakes with fish to over 40lb, a runs water and 2 coarse lakes which still contain carp over 20lbs! Back in the 80's, Elsons was run as the Mid Northants Carp Fishery, one of the premier carp waters in the country, and fished by the top Carp Anglers at the time. Surrounded by reeds, the lake
features several gravel bars, sunken and overhanging trees, and lily pads. There are quite a few large carp in the lake, and at the time of writing, there are at least 25 known fish over 30lb, 5 different fish caught over 40lb, the biggest being 43lb, and many more over 20lb. There are a maximum of 12 anglers allowed on at any one time so booking is necessary please use our booking calendar
Mallard Lake
Mallard used to be our runs water, but now the fish have grown to such a size that it has to be considered as our second specimen lake, with numerous 20lb fish and at least 5 different 30lb fish. No booking is required on this lake, so just turn up and fish. Swan Lake
Swan Lake, which used to be our Match water, has been heavily stocked with Carp over the last few years and can now be regarded as our "runs" water. Full of Carp averaging between 10-20lb, the biggest so far being 27lb, it has enough to keep most anglers interested, and is another lake you can just turn up and fish. Coot Lake
This is our smallest, of around 12 pegs, and has received a large amount of extra fish, including carp, tench, roach, rudd, and crucians. and recently a good stocking of Bream to 10lb. Car Park Lake
This lake has 16 pegs,and as the name suggests, is located next to the main car park, giving easy access. It has a large stocking of small carp, and is an ideal venue for pleasure fishing, or small matches. We have built some double platforms which are ideal for family use.
