The full rundown on Harefield Carp Lakes
Harefield Carp Lakes, also listed as Harefield Carp Lake or simply Harefield, is on Moorhall Road in Harefield, Greater London, UB9 6PE. It’s associated with Boyer Fishing and is aimed squarely at carp anglers. So, if you’re after a focused carp water rather than a mixed-species bagging session, it looks like one to have on the radar.
The venue listing gives the biggest reported fish as 37lb, which should certainly get the old carp-brain ticking. There’s no full stock list available, though, so don’t build your whole plan around a particular mix of fish. Treat the first session as a bit of homework: have a proper look at the water, watch for signs of carp, and ask which areas have been producing before getting clipped up.
The published ticket information points to an annual ticket or membership priced at £125. That figure comes from an older listing, so it may not still be current. Give the fishery a bell with the fishery before travelling and check the price, availability and how they’re currently handling membership. No point loading the motor, grabbing a cheeky brew and then finding the arrangements have changed.
The available details refer to a main lake, but don’t give its size, a swim map or any additional lake names. That means a little preparation is well worth the faff. Ask about the best way to approach a new swim, whether fish are showing in particular areas, and what bait or rigs are currently acceptable. On an unfamiliar water, keep the first few hours mobile if you can, watch the margins and avoid marching straight into the most obvious-looking peg without having a proper look.
There are some firm tackle requirements for the main lake. Minimum 20lb line is required, along with a landing net of at least 42 inches and an extra-large unhooking mat. Pack the right kit from the off, including a landing setup that gives a bigger fish plenty of room. Lightweight gear and a tiny mat won’t cut it here. Fishing equipment must also be dipped in the dip tanks before use, helping protect the carp from disease, so make that part of your arrival routine rather than an afterthought.
A few important bits still need checking before you set off. Opening times, season dates, night fishing, booking arrangements, parking, toilets, bait boats, dogs, guests and keepnets aren’t confirmed in the available details. The historical website wasn’t accessible during checking either. Contact the fishery directly, ask the bailiff what’s allowed, and take sensible carp kit with you: suitable line, the required net and mat, plus any tackle-dipping gear the venue asks anglers to use. Get those basics nailed down and you’ll be in a far better position to settle into the swim and fish properly.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Main lake
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
