Finding favourable little "snippets" about the place on the 'net but can't find a website or info on rules, prices etc.

Anyone on here fished it, and if so....any clues????

Never fished it for Carp, but have chased the giant Perch there a few times. The bottom lake has twice held the British Perch record, and I think it might still hold it at 6lb 3oz.

 

I think the middle lake is better for bigger Carp.

 

The place was sold about a year ago and I think it's now managed through a tackle shop in Crowborough, at least that's where you make bookings, so I guess they'd also be able to give you a run down on the rules.

1st lake you come to. Kingfisher has the bigger carp in (and perch).

Cc more live is the going bait and the best swims 1&2.

There is a bar from the monk.

25 per 24 at weekends 20 during the week.

Best place for tickets is crowborough tackle shop

How big do the Carp actually go in the bottom lake then? I'd always thought the bigger lumps were the in middle and top lakes.

Eh??????

:lol::lol::lol:

 

Thanks for the info by the way. I'm on the case

:wink:

 

Oh my god, no! That was meant to be such like, honestly. Bl00dy fat fingers. Doh!

 

Re Stream Valley, will be interested to know how you get on there. I always do a few sessions up there Febuary March time, trying to pick up a big Perch, and Carping over night.

Prawns and spraying maggots over the top.

 

Hmmm, fancy doing an overnight session up there Febuary time?

 

Hey, who's party is this?????

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

PS I'm not a Perch man so for that reason, I'm out

:wink:

It's just one big party Rob. :wink:

 

Seriously Rob, January to March you should have a go for the old Perca Fluviatillis. It's not often you have the chance of bagging a fish close to a British Record, or even an actual British record.

Sorry mate.

I hate the things.

Almost as much as Bream

:cry::cry:

I love Bream too, if they're big enough. Was well chuffed with a 10.6 Abramis Brama I picked up in the spring.

I contacted them direct via their Facebook page and heard back very quickly from "Lil"....

Going to pop up there next time I'm in the area and have a look around.

Looks like a nice place to fish.

Thanks for the info Doug

Did you have a look round, and if so, what did you think?
