Berners hall is a 24 acre lake near Fyfield, Ongar. The lake is set on a 1400acre farm in the middle of the essex countryside. Berners holds over 500 carp with half of these being 20lb+ including 80 over 25lb and 15 of 30lb+. Berners has something for everyone whether your a seasoned carper looking for some action or an angler looking for their first syndicate we think Berners is for you.

Ovet the last 12 months the Berners carp have had a phenominal growth rate with the average fish putting on 5lb this is down to the amount of bait that is being used with spodding and baitboats producing the goods last season.

However the Berners carp respond to every method with stalking the margins producing well and also surface baits if the conditions are in your favour. The fish show very well and in big shoals making location easy at times and the mobile approach pays dividends when the fish are on the move.

When we first stocked Berners in 2002 we originally wanted a low stock big fish venue however as the fish began to grow we decided to take the venue in a different direction with the emphasis on members being able to have multiple catches with the genuine chance of a whacker.

Its taken longer than we expected but Berners is now producing multiple hits of twenties with 30's  being caught on a weekly basis during the summer. We are continually stocking Berners every winter with quality stock. Berners has now produced 15 different 30lbers with the lake record standing at 38lb 12oz and when you consider that 2 years ago there were none present it gives you an idea which way the lake is heading.

Over the winter we have had a contractor remove over 3000kg of crayfish. Although they will always be present we have them under control and will continue trapping all year.

We have spaces for the 2011-2 season which starts on 20th April
