LAKEDOWN TROUT FISHERY
A scenic fishery
​
"The loveliest small water trout fishery in the UK"
- Charles Jardine
Lakedown Trout Fishery is situated in a secluded Wealden valley with scenic views & no visible sign of habitation.
The Fishery was originally designed & created in 1981 by actor & Rock legend Roger Daltrey.
The four spring-fed lakes totalling approximately 20 acres have an abundance of aquatic fly life.
​
"A visual assault on the senses. There can be no prettier fishery in this land. Spikes of bright yellow flag decorate the banks which are thick with beds of rose bay willow herb, bee-haunted fox gloves & spotted orchid. A place where wild browns & rainbows live side by side" -

We have restocked again today with a tank averaging over 3lbs per fish.. Happy Days! Even before that the fishing has been good, with lakes 1 and 3 in particular showing some great numbers. lures continue to work best with black being the colour of choice. No prize fish have been caught but a number of 4lb + fish have made it the the net which is great to see.

Thank goodness we are nearing the end of winter! In bombshell news im sad to report that Ted as semi hung up his boots. Im doing my best to have him still pop in so he keeps active and social. but currently your only real chance of seeing him is on a saturday afternoon. At the moment taproom staff are coming in early to run the fishery at weekends whilst i look for a long term solution, so please bear with us.
However, I am happy to report that we have begun regular stocking again. The top 2 lakes are currently muddied up but lakes 3 and 4 are reasonably clear and we hope the fresh injection of fish will help liven up the resident stock.
Ticket prices have had to rise a few pounds inline with fish and delivery costs, but the teas and coffees will remain on us!
We Look forward to welcoming you all back for the spring season.
