The Hilltop Experience: A Carp Angler’s Sanctuary For those seeking an intimate and dedicated carp fishing adventure, our exclusive lake, offers a truly unique experience. Designed by carp anglers for carp anglers, this isn’t just a place to fish; it’s a private sanctuary where you can focus entirely on the pursuit of your next personal best.
Your Exclusive Lake and Stock We offer the entire lake as a Full Lake Exclusive for either one to two anglers, or one angler and a non-fishing guest. This means you have the entire water body to yourselves, guaranteeing peace, quiet, and uninterrupted fishing. The lake itself is a purpose-built specimen carp haven. A single, spacious double swim is located on the fully reed-lined bank, providing ample space and comfort. Below the surface, you’ll find a meticulously designed environment with two sunken plateaus and varying depths, providing the perfect features for carp to hold and patrol. Our stock is a carefully curated collection of 73 carp, with a current count of three fish exceeding 30 pounds. We’ve focused on quality over quantity, with English strains of Sutton, Leney, and Dinkesbeuhl carp making up the majority of the stock. Additionally, we’ve introduced some special cross-bred strains that are not found in our other waters, offering a truly unique angling challenge. A number of stunning future specimens, reared from the offspring of our Alpha Lake’s biggest residents, are also thriving in the water, promising some incredible catches for years to come.
Optional Glamping Pod for Ultimate Comfort To enhance your stay and provide that little bit of extra comfort, we offer the use of our purpose-built Glamping Pod as an optional add-on. This cozy lodge is perfect for two anglers or one angler and a non-fishing guest. The pod comes equipped with heating, a TV, and USB phone charging ports, ensuring you can relax and recharge after a long session. It also includes two single beds—all you need to bring is your own sleeping bag and pillow for a restful night’s sleep. If you prefer to use your own bed chairs, the beds can be easily moved aside to accommodate your setup. Initially established in 2020 as a holding pond, this lake’s exceptional quality and high demand from our members led us to open it for exclusive bookings starting in 2022. We’re proud to offer this special venue as a private and peaceful retreat for serious carp anglers.

History
Construction of this lake began in February 2020 until the build was completed in March. The carp stock for Hilltop have come from our very own home bred fish with some special strains added in November 2020.
Named Hilltop for obvious reason as it is built on the far hilltop of Tees Valley, This Lake was initially built purely for tuition & growing on of stock carp but due to requests we chose to offer members full lake exclusive bookings from 2022 for a unique chance to catch special fish on private lake. At 1.5 acre we stocked to allow room for growth expecting a great future of big carp in this lake with the aim of moving these fish on when required to our other lakes, Supplementary feeding will be carried out as/when required to ensure these carp receive the best nutritional needs ensuring they continue to grow reaching their potential weights.
