Match Lake Rejuvenation & Improvements

Over the course of the next 4 months we aim to carry out a number of improvements to the match lake. I will be posting pictures of work as it is carried out.

An outline of our plans are as follows.

1, The lake will be split in to two sections. A 40 peg day ticket general fishing lake. And a 60 peg dedicated match lake. To split the lake we will be using two pegs on either side which will be shuttered and filled with hardcore enabling us access for general maintenance and to clear bankside vegetation on the far side of every swim.

2, Once the lake has been split we will in turn lower the water level and net the fish putting them either one side or the other depending on size.

3, The 40 peg day ticket general fishing lake will have plenty of double figure carp to catch as well as the usual bream and tench. The 60 peg dedicated match lake will have carp from 1lb to 5lb as well as a good head of silver fish for when the match fishing gets hard in the winter. We already have on order a large number of 1lb stock fish to supplement what is already there.

4, There will be no far bank or near bank trees to get caught up on as these will be removed

 

Please note that access to this and all Mid Kent fisheries sites is strictly by appointment only.

All our venues apart from Match Lake are only available to members. Please check with our office for the availability of day tickets for Match Lake

Our fishing sites are on private land and often shared with other amenities or industrial areas such as working quarries. Requests for permission to access to view these sites should be made to the fisheries manager Chris Logsdon.
