Gigantica Lake

Carp stock

The carp numbers in Gigantica are a little uncertain at the moment. One thing is for sure though they certainly number in the hundreds with many 40's and 50's with at least 10 60lb fish. The lake record stands at 73lb.

History of Water

A former gravel pit known as the Domaine Saint Christopher which opened as a commercial fishery in 2002. Was then bought by Danny Fairbrass, the head of KORDA in September 2008 and was renamed Lake gigantica in tribute to the huge carp that live within its depths. Gigantica then reopened in April 2009.

The Lake

Gigantica is 35 acres in size. The water is cobalt blue because of the heavily alkaline gravel it has been dug from. Depths range between 18 and 25 feet. The bottom is fairly flat with very few lumps and bumps. Gigantica a serious carp water for the dedicated carp angler wishing to fish a ‘proper’ carp lake with plenty of room, swims have been dropped from 26 to only 12!

Facilities

The facilities at Gigantica have been improved since Danny Fairbrass bought the venue a few years ago. There is now a shower/wet room and toilet block. All new swims have been built with the anglers comfort in mind.
