Croxley Hall Fishery is located on a private estate in the heart of the Colne Valley, near Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire. This exclusive fishery, made up of numerous lakes, first opened its gates in the early 1980s and was run as a successful trout fishery for many years.
In the mid-1990s, due to increasing demand for quality carp fishing, the main eight-acre lake was restocked with around two hundred common carp sourced from an old farm pond in Northamptonshire, dating back to the days of the Monks. These fish grew quickly in the rich, weedy waters at Croxley Hall, and it soon became apparent that the fish now known as the Croxley Commons were a truly unique strain of carp.
Over the years, regular captures of forty-pound fish became a normal occurrence, with some lucky anglers catching specimens approaching sixty pounds. In 2018, facilities were put in place on the estate to breed from these magnificent fish, ensuring the future of the Croxley Hall Commons.
There are currently five carp lakes across two different carp syndicates, along with a small, exclusive trout syndicate that fishes two additional lakes on the estate.
Croxley Hall Fisheries offers excellent facilities for all syndicate members, including toilets, running water, and electricity. Members are able to see who is fishing in real time thanks to a unique login/logout system situated in the lodge and incorporated into the members’ area of the website. This system also ensures that catch reports are kept fully up to date when members leave the fishery.
All syndicate members have the use of two secure car parks situated close to the lakes, behind locked gates.
The lakes are maintained year-round by dedicated fishery staff, with mown grass banks and well-kept swims for the comfort of members. There is no requirement for members to attend any work parties throughout the year.
