The Lattenbury Lakes syndicate (or also known as Far Fen) has been set up since May 2006. With 2 lakes available (one at 10 acres and the larger at over 50 acres) they are both very wild gravel pits with some known quantity as well as an unknown mystery to what they behold. It's beautifully quiet there, as it is part of an official nature reserve, and being 15 minutes north of Cambridge it is very accessible from the A14. The lakes are very secure and 75% of the lakes are available for fishing all year round.
In addition, a stretch of the River Great Ouse is 5-10 minutes walk from the lakes, and there are some spectacular chub, perch, barbel, carp, pike and zander to be found there.
To date, Carp to 41lbs, Pike to 29lbs, Bream over 15lbs, Tench over 11lbs have all been caught, and all are in immaculate condition. These lakes are difficult and will never be classed as 'runs' waters. This venue is a wild nature reserve, and although it will be comfortable it will never have showers, toilets etc - it is a place of beauty and we want to keep it that way.
There is a 4 rod rule, no silly rigs, hook or bait bans, just a quiet place for serious angler who want to turn up and enjoy their fishing. Please e-mail
geoff@winnfamily.co.uk for a copy of the rules and membership forms. Currently, any members wanting to join can do so, as there are a few places remaining.
The syndicate price for the first year is £240 (to include insurance and security costs) and the season runs from 1 April to 31 March each year. Renewing members costs are just £200 a year thereafter (subject to increases in the rent lease). This syndicate will only have a maximum of 30 places.
An open day at the lakes will be help on Sunday 1st April 2012 if you would like to pop down to have a good look around and see the lakes, photos of the fish caught so far and have a chat with Geoff.
Last and by no means least, enjoy your fishing. Pictures of the lakes and some captures can be found at:
