OPENThe Society bought this lake in 2025, an attractive lake of 3 acres set in a 7 acre plot in a quiet location in Fingringhoe. The lake was named after previous chairman Reg Upsher who gave so much to the club over a period in excess of 50 years.
Important Note: Please drive slowly down Brook Hall Rd respecting our neighbours.
Stocking wise, it’s a little unknown what exactly in there but test sessions have produced plenty of carp ranging from 2lb up to 19lb but larger fish have been spotted. There are plenty of quality Roach and Rudd and one of the fishery officres who test fished the lake had a Tench around 5lb. We have since taking over ownership, stocked 5 x RH fisheries Mirror Carp between 10 and 14lb We also stocked 850 or so Crucian Carp together with 300 Crucians and 300 Tench that were given to us by the EA (that’s where some of our licence money goes). We also stocked a few more Mirrors from another strain. All in all we are confident the lake is well stocked.
Upshers is open all year round with no close season
A toilet is located in the car park, it will be present all year round and is regularly cleaned by a contracted company.
The water at just over 3 acres in size has 16 well spaced pegs.
No designated disabled swim or disabled facilities.
NOTE: Please drive slowly down Brook Hall Rd respecting our neighbours. No parking in Brook Hall Road!
From Colchester head out toward Fingrinhoe via Old Heath Road, which in turn becomes Fingringhoe Rd. At the crossroads which has the Whalebone pub on the corner turn left into Church Road, follow this road and then turn right into Brook Hall Road, entrance to our lake is at the end of this road. You need to go through 2 loacked gates before entering our carpark gate. All 3 gates need the club gate code.
