Smithy2210 Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi All, Has anyone fished at Orchard Place Farm, Tonbridge, KENT? From the website it looks like a nice fishery with good size carp in all the specimen Lakes, wondering if anyone has any info about the lakes, carp stocks, rigs, Bait etc please, Thanks and be lucky 🚙💨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commonly Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I had the misfortune of wetting a line there a few years ago. As some on here might say it's a commy day ticket. Trying to be another elphics. There's claims to have a 40 in each lake, yet the 2 photos I saw in the tackle shop were of the same fish. Go to elphics if that's the kind of fish you're looking for, to me it's like someone's dug a lake in a field & designed it to get as many swims as possible out of it! A Cash cow, basically. There are much nicer, mature waters around mate, Tunbridge area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Cash cow, basically. Agree, the fish are awful too. The Kent area is one of the best in the country for carp, loads of awesome waters. I'd look no further than Mid Kent Fisheries..... there's enough special carp on those tickets to keep you going for years. commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy2210 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi, if anyone can help me out with some info on elphicks and mid Kent fisheries it would be greatly appreciated, Making the trip to Kent later today so any info will be greatly appreciated please.

commonly Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 You may get on elphics less popular lakes, or you need to book early Jan. A friend of mine goes a few times a year. Had a 36 common on his last trip. He uses cell & parti. Afraid I know nothing about mid Kent, yonny may know more. I have a ticket in a Hampshire water & estate lake in mid Sussex. You say you're going to Kent, where are you roughly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 (edited) http://midkentfisheries.co.uk/ All you need to know right there tbh. Proper waters, tricky old carp i.e. not overstocked puddles full of pigs like Elphicks. Edited September 4, 2018 by yonny commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_gravesend Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Stay well clear of elphicks and orchard place so many fantastic waters, mid Kent fisheries are a good shout but more or less every club will offer a water that is both a challenge but the rewards are there. you also have the Medway which is free either side of the town centre stretch, probably one of the most underrated carp fisheries going, some absolute gems in there commonly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
