With all you anglers out there and fishery owners there must be someone who can put me in touch with a small loch that we can stock with Carp and lease from the owner.

Anything from 3/4 of an acre upwards is fine, and it can be treelined etc as we dont need space for a back cast.

Idealy we are looking for a water of about 2 acres, with shallows and deeper areas (or an area that we can use a digger to dig a deeper hole), sheltered and pricate.

Any farmers out there with a small reservoir, or maybe "set aside" land. A boggy fielf that could be dug out maybe?

We are a small syndicate and are struggling to find anywhere (well, there are loads of suitable waters in Aberdenshire but we are struggling to find out who owns them!!). Naturally we would do all the stocking and any work needed on the banks etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

Andrew, I am about to move close to Kincardine O Neal on Deeside, so there would be wonderful...but I would consider anywhere as the members are widespread.

I'm sure there was a place up beside Fraserburgh that was for sale, and from memory it was quite large too.

Not sure if its been bought or not :roll:

Rathen is a bit to big i think and far to expensive £6k a year i think plus he wanted money for the stock already in

Nahhh..Rathen is way way to much!!!

I am looking for something that the Trout boys would not look at...smallish, weedy, overgrown etc. The Scottish Carp Group only pay £400 a year for there most expensive water on a private estate.... :grin:

You'll have a hard job finding something in the area for that sort of money Rob - even the stankiest wee puddle seems to be around £600+ pa
Nevertheless, good luck  :wink:

There are one or two places I have in mind, I suspect Calum might be thinking of one of the same.
See how you get on - if no joy drop me a line.
