There is now a website for anybody that is interested!! www.swarkestonesyndicate.com There is a few places left for March 2015

Everyone starts somewhere! I used to be a member of local clubs but after 10 years i fancied somewhere which has similar minded people, who have the same sort of ideas that can make it a great place to fish, and that dont mind blanking sometimes

The price is to cover the cost of the lake, insurance and to go towards future stockings! I can appreciate it is alot of money but it is a syndicate water and they generally are more expensive

they are not planning on stocking loads of fish just adding fish to compliment the fish that are already in there! Not sure on how many are going in but i do know that it wont be many! As for the stocking they will be scaleys that they are thinking of introducing upto mid doubles. If you would like the contact number please message me Thanks Th

thanks newmarket!! i love it down there.

i'm not sure if this is the right place for this, please tell me if its wrong. we are looking for 10 more members to join a newly formed syndicate water in derbyshire. the lake is swarkestone gravel pits and at present we have 30 members looking to get to 40, the lake is 76 acres with 5 islands, bars, plateaus and everything else you can think of. the syndicate has been running since march, before this it was understood there were only 40 fish in here upto high 30's, since march there have been approx 110 different fish caught ranging from 9lb to 27lb, the big ones are still to make an appearance!!! there will be a stocking program starting next year to add to the current fish. the price is £350 a year and this is for the use of 4 rods. no rules as such just common sense. if you like fishing with the potential not to see another angler then this place is great. for anymore info then please comment or pm me. thanks james

Swarkestone in derby has a new syndicate! Maybe worth a try.

norgi just got back from a night down there. had a 12lb common and 2 small bream. its really a night water for the carp unless you are using zigs in the middle. but at night your best bet is the margins and get as close to them as poss. lovely lake though just bare in mind the social club has parties most nights so its not the quietest place ever good luck when you go and let me know if you have anything. james

Im going this weekend hopefully!! had a look round last week and saw a couple of good fish so its a start! at least I know there is some in there

Arl I have just sent it off and am just waiting for my ticket to come, was wondering more about the area than the fishing as it looks pretty good for a bite just dont want to be woken up in the middle of the night to find my gears gone.

nobody fishes this? it looks like i will have the lake to myself

I went and had a look around here today and thought it looked really carpy! I know it belongs to Notts AA but cant find any information of stock level and size, does anybody know? Also wondered if it is safe at night as its quite close to a housing estate and dont fancy havin my stuff nicked. I have tried to use the search engine first but couldnt find anything! Hope its not me bein blind any information would be grateful. james

wouldn't bother with the wood side, agreed the field side fishes better, closer to the island is best Imo! nice lake with some stunning fish!!

Used them for last few months!! seem to be very durable I do prefer the dull finish and I have been catching a few more since i started using them, don't know if this is a coincidense or not!!

if you wanted to fish just redhouse you would be better getting the derby railway angling ticket you can fish redhouse and many more lakes with carp in and also 8 miles of the river on a night ticket.

I am from Derby and would agree that £20 for 24 hours is the going rate round here aswell.
