Lakes/Ponds East Anglia for rent/lease

What I am looking for
I am currently looking for lakes/ponds which are ideally about 6ft deep for the production of carp.

The water would need to be over 1 acre ideally however if you have several lakes or ponds this could work.

This would be on a 2 year cycle growing the fish on to then sell in to the fishing trade for restocking in to commercial Fisheries or specimens waters.

The fish would be cropped each year and I am happy to maintain the water in which they are being produced.

I also understand that we would need to reach an formal agreement which I am happy to pay to be done professionally.

My Background

After studying at college I was hopeful for a career in the forces. The option for a career in the forces was ruled out due to reconstructive surgery.It was whilst studying I managed to get a job in retail.

This lead to a few years working as a retail manager before going to university in 2015.

I managed to enroll on a Foundation degree in Fisheries Management and sustainable aquaculture at Easton and Otley college.

The degree came under the umbrella of the university of East Anglia as an association college.

This degree enabled me to gain a 2.2 at an academic level but also gain practice within the industry.

Skill Set
*Working on recirculating systems to produce fish
*Netting experience
*Practicle Management of Fisheries
*Science behind running a successful fishery

Payment
I Understand that this would be an opportunity for a farmer to put to use any spare water which is currently unused.

I would also pay for the formal agreement to written up. With regards to payment we could go two ways.

Option 1) fees per month of around £100 over two years

Option 2) Profit share each year an agreed % of fish sales after costs.

Summary
Looking for Ponds and Lakes in which I can produce Carp for the industry.

Happy to pay for all an official agreement to be written up.

Also happy to maintain the water and pay all costs involved.

Anywhere in East Anglia considered however ideally within 20 miles of the IP30 area.

Hello there sorry to jump on your post mate.., but I am also looking for something similar either a pond I can rent or buy as I own an aquatic shop now but I am looking to get into the fishery management side of things..and need an unused pool to start I want to stock a water 💧 and use it as a strictly private fishery for private club members only, literally my business partners, to grow some beautiful koi and mixed bags of carp on.. please feel free to message or reply if you have any free lodges,pools or lakes! Thank you in advance..

Good morning, I’m looking for a lake around 2 acres or somewhere near that to rent to turn in to a carp fishery in the north east, carp fishing can me very lucrative, so if there is is any farm lakes out there un used please let me know know obviously this would be a money earner for land owner also. So many lakes out there with no information of who they belong to some have high potential.

thank you

Arable Farmer
I visited a friend who had erected a plastic walled swimming pool tanks about one meter deep. There may have been six tanks. These were full of carp. My guess it had solar panels on the roof because I was being shown how he was harvesting energy to heat water.
I forget if the carp ponds were heated.
The carp were for sale to the Polish comunity.
All I remember being told the carp were fed from sweepings off the grain store floor.
He had extended his "Office !! " into what was effective a holiday let, How can you differentiate between a conference table and dining table. Informal seating with a TV a small kitchen. I think there could have been a place to sleep. Great views over the sea
Access through doors in the main Office.
