Embryo Angling Europe
About Us
Embryo Angling Habitats was founded in the summer of 2014 by Korda Developments owner, Danny Fairbrass.
Embryo was created as a way for Danny to put something back into the sport he loves so much and to provide a positive solution to issues facing modern day carp fishing.
We have two main functions; to set-up and run our own fisheries as affordable venues that anyone can join and also to help others protect their lakes from the increasing threat of predation.

Our Venues
Carp Arena
Located in Western Belgium, just over an hour from Calais, Carp Arena comprises four distinct lakes—Clover Lake, Rose Mere, Orchid Pool, and Lilly Pool, each offering unique carp fishing experiences. The complex features upgraded facilities, including high-quality toilets, showers, and remodeled swims, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for anglers.
Carplantis
A beautiful 17-acre quarry in The Netherlands, home to a HUGE stock of BIG carp! The largest is over 60lb (27kg+), with roughly 1 in 10 being over 50lb and many more forty-pound plus fish too. With four luxury double swims, a Clubhouse and more, this really is the ultimate Big-carp holiday venue!
Testimonials
Tom Dove
Carplantis is like no other lake I’ve fished. It offers extreme styles of fishing in a manageable sized lake. Steep learning curves and big, black Dutch mirrors – I love it! Take your zig kit and don’t ignore the margins!
Kevin Diederen
I’ve fished the historic Clover Lake during the summer of 2024 and late winter 2025, and had an absolute blast doing so. The lake certainly isn’t your typical holiday venue; it truly has the feel of an old wild place. It offers some challenges with snags and proper weed fishing during the summer months. Combine this with going out in the boat, checking spots and trying to outwit these cool carp, make it certainly stand out from other places.
Tom Stokes
Beautiful mature surroundings, great looking carp and the interesting nature of the fishing are all reasons why I keep going back to Clover Lake at Carp Arena!
Dave Levy
I’ve fished Carplantis once, but want to go back some day. The deep, gin-clear water makes the fishing tricky, but the carp are some of the best you’ll ever catch!
Bart van Bezouw
I’ve fished Carplantis a lot during the colder months – The fishing is not easy, but the rewards are incredible. The amount of 20kg+ fish is insane, and the technical and tactical fishing makes it an interesting challenge for every angler.
