Premium Carp Venue

Teakettle Fisheries

Two very different lakes on one stunning carp fishing syndicate!

2024/25 waiting list now open - form below!

Since opening both lakes at Teakettle Fisheries have come on leaps and bounds producing some excellent fish to the mid 40lbs. Across the two lakes we have over 30 fish above 30lb or more with a good supplement of mid doubles to high 20s. There really is something for everyone at this carp fishing venue.

This carp fishing syndicate is located close to Peterborough and Whittlesey with good access routes from all across Cambridgeshire. To inquire about joining this syndicate and have access to both of these brilliant lakes scroll down to fill out the form below.

Season runs 1st May – 30th April every year. £650.00 per season per angler.

Whittle Mere - Carp fishing syndicate

Whittle Mere is 20 acre flooded gravel pit located just to the east of Peterborough which has been managed on a syndicate basis since 2013 (it was largely unfished prior to that).

Although relatively young, extensive landscaping has created a wonderful-looking fishery, with 21 well-appointed swims each with plenty of water and features. The lake holds around 300 carp with the average size being around the 20lb-30lb mark. There are currently around 20+ 30lb+ carp with the biggest going to the mid 40lb mark.

Thorney Mere - Carp fishing syndicate

This beautiful 10 acre flooded gravel pit sits next to Whittle Mere on the Teakettle Fisheries complex.

It is more natural than its neighbour Whittle Mere, surrounded by mature trees and with extensive marginal vegetation. This lake now has 16 well placed swims which have been purposely kept as natural as possible. Limited fishing has taken place, but mirrors up to 37lb have been caught. We have recently also stocked this lake with an additional 130 carp from the on-site stock pond to supplement the stunning original stock of around 50 fish.
