Horcott Lakes

Horcott lakes is a day ticket carp fishery situated in the heart of the Cotswolds in the historic town of Fairford and is home to some of the best-looking carp in the Cotswold Waterpark. All of our lakes contain stunning Leenies and Suttons, mirrors and commons.

The complex consists of 3 lakes; the main lake (22acres) which is now stocked with just over 800 Carp. Most Carp averaging 20lb, a massive head of upper 20’s, with around 50 different 30lb fish and the lake record being over 40lb. The lake its self is a typical Cotswold gravel pit, Gin clear, 5ft-6ft in depth with lots of bars, gullies and weed beds.

Brand new for 2024 is the Scout Lake, dug in the 1970s after the main lake, It has been run as a private syndicate but now welcomes day ticket anglers to the mature banks! At approximately 9 acres in size, there are depths ranging from 4ft – 8ft with a 10ft hole right in the middle and numerous deeper holes and gullies for the angler to find with their leading or marker rods.

There is also a small Tench lake (3 acres) at the back of the complex, great for beginners or the pleasure angler, holding a few Carp to mid Twenties, very good head of Tench which average 4 – 5lb, a large number of 6 – 7lb fish and a few just going over the magical 10lb mark.
