Come Experience Fishing in the Garden of England.

 

WE ARE OPEN UNTIL SUNDAY 30th SEPTEMBER 2018

With anglers having differing requirements we are now taking Bookings for Accommodation, Day Fishing and Night Fishing.

A warm welcome awaits you at Manor Fisheries which provides both comfortable accommodation and outstanding coarse fishing (Carp to 30 lbs+, Catfish to 50 lbs+) in three very well stocked lakes which are "Never knowingly over crowded"; all this in an idyllic setting in the Weald of Kent. The lakes are beautifully landscaped and well thought out, incorporating bays, controlled weed beds, rushes and islands.

 

Recently highlighted in Angler’s Mail dated 27th February 2018 by the Duncan Charman, the highly respected angler and Journalist; a UK Holiday Venue which has "high-quality accommodation for families and for serious anglers who want to target very big fish and get away from their busy lifestyle for few days" and selected in 2016 by Angler’s Mail as a "Best Day Fishery Venue".  Also see the Angling Times “Fishery of the Week”article dated the 28th September 2015.     

The Mixed Lake 3 (1.6 acres) holds a significant number of smaller Carp (4 to 12 lbs+) plus some excellent Tench and Bream (both to over 8lbs+), Roach, Rudd, Crucians and really good Perch. 

This is an ideal water for smaller Matches and for the angler who wants day fishing in pleasant surroundings without the pressure of trying to catch specimen fish.

Facilities include uncrowded, attractive and safe surroundings, hard standing car park (suitable only for cars and small vans), flush toilet plus hot and cold running water.

There are two superb easy access specimen lakes. Lake 1 Carp (1.1 acres) contains many large specimen Carp (Commons and Mirrors) while Lake 2 Carp/Catfish (1.2 acres) contains many specimen Wels Catfish and large Common and Mirror Carp. Both lakes have 8 to 9 swims (including doubles) and each is limited to four anglers ensuring the lake is never over crowded.

Night Fishing is also available but only to those with Apartment bookings or to anglers with current Night Membership. See the FISHING tab for more details.
