About
Foxearth Fisheries is a specialist three-lake complex located in Sudbury, Suffolk, designed to cater for all types of angler and ages. Whether pursuing large carp with modern tactics, targeting the delicate bite of rare pure crucian carp, or introducing children to their first roach, this venue offers exceptional fishing opportunities across its varied waters. The Specimen Lake is the jewel of the complex - a pre-book, pre-pay 2.2-acre carp water featuring three islands and 12 newly replaced wood-chipped swims. Home to 225-250 carp ranging from mid-doubles to an impressive 42lb+, the lake contains mirror, common, leather, grass carp and three ghost carp exceeding 32lb. This exclusive water operates under strict fish care protocols with comprehensive safety requirements ensuring the welfare of these prized specimens. The Pleasure Lake serves as the venue's all-round match water, containing abundant silver fish species that provide excellent sport for both children and match anglers throughout the year. Stocked with roach, rudd, tench, perch, bream and carp to 16lb, this water consistently produces good match weights and entertaining sessions for pleasure anglers. The Traditional Lake represents something truly special - a dedicated water for tench and pure crucian carp enthusiasts. Housing hundreds of tench to 6lb+ and an exceptional stock of 250-300 pure crucians exceeding the magical 2lb mark, this water offers a rare opportunity to target these increasingly scarce species in pristine conditions. The fishery's commitment to maintaining pure crucian bloodlines makes this a destination water for specimen hunters and traditionalists alike.
