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" -
Trout Fisherman, August 2005

As you would expect, summer fishing has been pretty tough over the last month averaging just below 1 fish per rod. During cloud cover fish are still being caught off the top and just sub surface on pheasant tails Diwal Bachs and blue flash damsels.
The cooler wet weather of late it has given us a chance to book in a restock which will be happening this coming week.
5th June
Thank you to Nymfs for coming down on Friday. a great day was had by all with superb fishing. On that day, 52 out of 60 ticketed fish were caught and through the week the catch rate ended up a handsome 85%. All lakes fished well with the catch of the week being. a 6.5lb rainbow. Blue flash damsels, nymphs, buzzers and Montanas are flies of choice.

Despite the sunny weather the water at Lakedown still remains a healthy 15 degrees. So although the fish are beginning to be found a little deeper, many are still being caught sub surface on nymphs. The fishing has been good over the last few weeks with a number of 4-6lbers landed and all lakes clear and fishing well. Blue flash damsels, nymphs, buzzers and Montanas are flies of choice.
From June 28th we will introduce a half day 1 fish ticket for £25 and a 2 fish ticket will be valid all day
