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

NEW SEASON UPDATE!!
3rd SEPTEMBER
Well that was a very hot dry summer! Thankfully the recent rain and cooler nights have brought the surface temperature of the lakes down to an acceptable 18 degrees. This means we will be resuming stocking again, starting again next week. Hope to see you all soon
1ST JULY
With The surface water now having exceeded the 20 degree mark, the fishing is understandably very tough. Ae of next week 7th July, we will therefore only be open on fridays, saturdays and sundays through july and august. Should you wish to fish outside these days, please call on 07502257428 as we may be able to accomodate you. Please note we will also be carrying out maintenance around the lakes through the summer so some swims may be unavailable. We will also be offering a 1 fish £30 ticket through these months.
27th MAY
It probably wont be a shock to anybody to hear that the fishing was incredibly trough over the last week with the sunshine and heat that we have had. The silver lining is that there are still hundreds of fish that were stocked for the corporate happily waiting to be caught.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE CLOSED THIS FRIDAy 29th for a PRIVATE FUNCTION
6th MAY
The fishing has been up and down over the last few weeks. The bright sunshine and north easterly winds have made the fish unprdictable. That said the stock levels are very high and the lakes are looking stunning now the yellow iris have started to come out. The alderfly hatch is in full swing which is usually quickly followed by the duns mayfly and hawthorn. The water is a comfortable 14 degrees and the flies of choice have been blobs, hoppers and buzzers.
PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE CLOSED NEXT THURSDAY 21ST, FRIDAY 22nd and SATURDAY 23rd FOR PRIVATE EVENTS
