Clover is a mature, 16-acre clay/gravel pit located on the Carp Arena complex in Western Belgium, just across the French border and only one hour from Calais. It has a proud history of producing huge Belgium beauties since the 1980’s. Originally it was reserved for the fortunate few and more recently has been extended to a wider audience. Embryo aims to take that further and give all nationalities the chance to fish this iconic super-water.

It is a truly beautiful place, enshrouded in mature trees with depths varying between 1 and 5 metres and an average of 3 metres. It has bays, an island, clear gravel and clay spots, overhangs, far margin spots and of course weed, which can get heavy in the late spring/early summer. Couple this with an impressive stock of almost 250 fish to over 60lb, plus a fair number over 50lbs, it is aimed at the experienced angler who can deal with epic battles in weedy and snaggy conditions.

Rowing boats are supplied (outboard engines not supplied) within the cost of hiring each swim to allow for baiting, rig placement and battles with carp. Remote boats are also allowed (but not supplied) out of respect for those anglers who rely on them for long range fishing which is necessary in half the swims. It is Embryo’s aim to acknowledge and respect all European anglers’ needs so our rules mirror the previous regime, with a few minor alterations.

All three swims are doubles and have all been completely refurbished. They are booked independently for one week at a time, though a draw system is being implemented as of 2026. To book Clover exclusively for up to six anglers, simply add the same date on all three calendars to your cart before paying.

Existing customers will be impressed with the continued improvements Embryo have made, with a brand new toilet and shower block, Embryo-style compost toilets around the site, fridge, freezer and battery charging stations, all at no extra cost. All tracks and swims have been enhanced so that they are comfortable and accessible with ease.
