A total of 15.5 acres of water and over a 100 swims
Fennes Fishing is stocked with Bream, Tench, Rudd, Roach, Perch, Catfish and Carp over 30lb. For your convenience we have a on-site shop and take-away pop up shop, currently open Friday – Sunday.
Ash grounds lake is a well-established spring fed water comprising of 5.8 acres and a 1000+yrds of well tendered bank it’s an attractive 24-peg lake that is well stocked with common and mirror carp with some weighing in at 33+lbs.
With more than a 1000 yards of bank Ash grounds has several attractive islands within easy casting distance this lake also offers many sub surface features including gravel bars and an undulating bed with some deeper pockets with depths to 10ft, the margins are also home to a varied array of aquatic vegetation including Reed mace, Bull rushes and water lilies providing both cover and spawning sites.
This lake offers both open water and the opportunity to fish close to islands and features. Hobbs Croft covers 3.5 acres and has 20 pegs.
With a larger grass area that makes it ideal for visting families wanting to experience fishing. This lake holds the same species of fish as Ash Grounds,
For the pleasure and match angler this lake holds smaller Common & Mirror carp, roach, rudd, perch, bream, tench, F1’s and crucian carp.
Unlike some lakes that have been converted from farm reservoirs that can featureless the Fennes has made great strides in landscaping this water and providing features. The depths range from 8ft to 4ft with numerous sub surface features that consist of clear gravel patches, silt gulleys and large weed beds.
Again this lake holds the same species of fish as the other two lakes on the Fennes complex. For the pleasure and match angler this lake holds some large Common & Mirror carp, roach, rudd, perch, bream, tench, F1’s and crucian carp.
Just 2 1/2 weeks until the winter tickets start. Getting excited this year due to great weight gains of the fish. Just remember guys that during the colder months, the otters are more likely to be around the lakes, so please keep the otter fence gates firmly closed.
We will be starting a WhatsApp group for winter tickets start holders. To get information from us and send information and pictures of catches.
Pike season is not a million miles off either but water temps still need to drop considerably. A full set of piking rules will be put up here soon.
Finally, please be aware that we will be actively working during the colder months so expect some days of swim closures. we will put out dates of closures but just be aware.
Thanks guys.

With water levels being so challenging at the moment, we have taken the decision to close Hobbs Croft for the forceable future.
This decision has not been made lightly and is purely for the benefit of the fish health. We do not want bait going in and causing problems with water quality In a low level lake.
Sorry to all, but hill and black and ashgrounds remain open and as soon as we get enough rain, will reopen Hobbs.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it, or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook

Here's a little video I did of my 1st year fishing here at this lovely place . Bearing in mind I had only fished Ash Ground once before 15 years ago when it was a completely different lake, I've been lucky to catch some lovely fish and hopefully many more to come . Cheers to all the friends I've made since I started working here and welcome to those yet to come . Looking forward to doing some pike fishing next month and hopefully we'll catch some monsters. I'll try and get as much footage as possible.

I come round and take the orders , then you need to collect and pay at the shop , between 10.35 and 11.05 . There should be food next weekend but I'll need to confirm once I've spoken to the chefs tomorrow
Do you have to pre order? Will it be available next weekend?
Managed to catch one right at the end of a 48hr session today. Its been tough lately but persistence and small traps paid off . DT Bait Developments pineapple pop up with a pouchfull of 10mm coldwater green beast catapulted over the top , tripped this lovely and clean chunky 20 pounder up .

Well done Steve 👏
Lovely fish that sir 🫡👌
Down at the Fennes. There’s a chap called Steve and he’s the business, Always on hand - never too busy for advice and assistance. With support, guidance and knowledge to share and enough carp wisdom to fill the whole chair! An old-school angler, proper and true, he knows exactly what those crafty carp do. While we’re blanking, scratching our heads in despair, Steve’s probably landed three from the same chair! He’s modest, approachable, funny and wise, With fishing stories almost as big as the size of the carp he catches! Although he won’t make a fuss, he’ll just say, “Lovely fish, mate,” and carry on like one of us. So here’s to bailiff Steve, the legend by the lake. The man who helps every angler catch a break. A true carp fisherman, through and through. The business, the gaffer and a top bloke too! 🎣👏 Tight lines mate 👊🏻
