Welcome to all anglers, we provide freshwater fishing in our private fisheries in Harefield Middlesex in the Colne Valley and in Bucks. Our lakes and gravel pits contain specimen Carp, Tench, Pike, Bream, Roach, Rudd and Perch.
There have been a series of outbreaks in the Colne Valley of the killer Carp disease KHV (Koi Herpes Virus) for which there is no known cure. If we get this deadly virus in our waters as it can result in a water being unfishable for up to 4 years. All members must dip their landing nets, unhooking mats and weight slings in the disinfectant solution for at least 5-15 minutes before starting to fish. Any member found not to be taking these precaution may be liable to expulsion from the Society. If you see any dead or dying fish please report to the fishery manager or bailiff straight away. It is also a precaution to fully dry all your equipment before fishing again as this will also kill the virus.
As a precaution at present we are not allowing visitors onto our waters, and have closed the Society to new members.
