A New Chapter in Big Carp Fishing
Welcome to Riverslea Carp, a stunning 5-acre private carp lake in Lincolnshire, offering anglers the opportunity to fish for some exceptional carp in a peaceful, secure and carefully managed setting.
With just seven swims, including a double swim capable of accommodating groups of up to eight anglers, Riverslea provides an enjoyable and social fishing experience without compromising on the quality of the fishing.
The lake opened to anglers in September 2025 and has already produced some outstanding results, including multiple 30lb+ carp, plenty of twenties and a new lake record of 41lb during the opening week.
With carp now reaching 42lb+, and a number of original fish still waiting to make their first appearance on the bank, there is plenty of excitement ahead.
A Lake Full of Potential
Riverslea Carp has been stocked over the last three years with carefully selected carp from Mark Simmonds, 5 Star Fisheries’ Clumber Park strain and the legendary Dinton.
Around 155 carp have been introduced, alongside a sprinkling of original fish that were already present in the lake.
The result is a fascinating mix of new stock and established originals, with some of the original carp believed to be capable of reaching exceptional weights.
Before opening to anglers, the newly introduced carp had only been fished for during one 48-hour test session. Even then, carp approaching 30lb were landed.
Since opening, the results have confirmed just how much potential Riverslea has.

Fish a Lake Designed to Be Interesting
Riverslea isn’t simply a featureless expanse of water.
The lake has a plateau running roughly along the centre, reed-lined bays, weed beds and overhanging trees, giving anglers a variety of features and areas to target throughout their session.
The swims are positioned along one bank, with the exception of Swim 1 – Car Park, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere around the lake.
With the far bank just over 100 yards away, there are plenty of opportunities to fish different areas and explore what the lake has to offer.
Exclusive Bookings, Small Groups & Single Swims
Whether you’re looking for a private group session with friends or simply want to spend 48 hours chasing a new PB, Riverslea can accommodate different types of anglers.
The lake can be booked exclusively for groups of up to 8 anglers, while single-angler bookings are also available with a minimum 48-hour booking.
If the online calendar appears fully booked, it is still worth getting in touch. There may occasionally be individual swims that have become available due to a last minute cancellation.
A Private and Secure Environment
Riverslea Carp is completely private and sits securely inside otter fencing, giving both the fish and anglers a protected environment.
For your convenience, there are power points for charging batteries and a fridge available for anglers to use inside the old pumphouse adjacent to Swim 2 – Paradise.
It’s all part of creating a venue where you can concentrate on what you’re here for: enjoying your fishing.
