Discovering Harry's Lake

Nestled in the embrace of nature, Harry's Lake is not just any body of water. It's a serene sanctuary surrounded by lush, overhanging trees that create a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation and reflection. The tranquility, however, is often interrupted by the astonishing sight of carp breeding – a spectacle that never ceases to amaze me.

The Carp's Energetic Display

Recently, the carp have been in full swing, showcasing their immense energy during the spawning season. It’s fascinating to observe how these beautiful fish interact with one another, creating a mesmerizing display of movement and life. Each splash and ripple in the water tells a story of vitality, reminding us of the extraordinary cycles of nature.

Diverse Breeding Stock

Here at Compton's Lakes, we take great pride in our diverse breeding stock of carp. From stunning fully scaled varieties to those that exhibit large apple slice patterns, each fish is a unique work of art. If you’re a fan of angling, you’ll appreciate our collection – both linear and common carp can be found here, each species contributing its own charm to the lake. Watching over the weeks, I find myself eagerly anticipating the shoals of tiny carp that will soon appear, each one a promise of what’s to come.

As November approaches and we prepare to net the lake, the excitement builds. I can’t help but wonder how these young carp will develop as they grow. The anticipation of seeing them swim gracefully in the water is always a highlight of the year. It’s moments like these that remind us why we cherish Harry’s Lake so much.

Whether you’re an avid fisherman or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of nature, Harry's Lake offers an inviting escape. Come and witness the dynamism of the breeding carp for yourself; I assure you, it’s an experience like no other!
