Welcome to Brook Farm Lake
This two-acre syndicate lake is set in the beautiful countryside of Alresford just outside of Colchester, Essex. With just six swims, hidden from the pressures of life, the tranquillity of this lake is food for the soul and promotes a sense of serenity. Last stocked 30 years ago it remained untouched by anglers, naturally maturing, inaccessible in parts until 2021 when an agreement was reached for anglers to cast into its mysterious waters. Giving great consideration to the natural feel of the lake, six swims were created with the addition of stunning hand crafted signs depicting the individual names for each swim. As per the five year plan in January 2021 the stocking programme began, carefully managed and photographed the extra fish were introduced and fed on pellet until spring. Syndicate members are vetted by management prior to joining and given the nature and size of the venue numbers are restricted making the syndicate pretty exclusive. It is anticipated that there will be a waiting list for those who wish to join should a member leave.

Started off with a quick over night (20/05/2026)
Jake got to the lake at about 10am, for a quick over night and started hus normal routine, the walk round the lake and see if he can find the fish. Saw some fish in Long View’s water and also by the reeds in Hollys so decided to setup in Long View. Got sorted out and got the rods on the spots. The first fish was soon to fall to Jake’s trap by the reeds. Landed a really dark Tench at 7lb, rod back on the spot hoping for another fish. A quick call to work he got the Monday off work, re baited with his normal particle mix and some chopped and whole boiling. The extra day soon paid off, he was treated to another one of the lakes known fish, a carp called Chicken that came in at 21lb. The day saw a few carp boshing out around the lake but his rods sat quite for the day. Later the evening the was off and a second, tench of the session was soon in the net, this was the last fish of the session
