Old Bury Hill Fisheries - Situated just outside Dorking, Surrey and just a few miles from Junction 8 of the M25 this three lake fishery has a superbly picturesque old main lake, plus two newer and smaller lakes. Offering a wide variety of species, this is a fishing venue that you MUST visit.
Gold Valley Lakes - Is there anyone out there that hasn't heard of Gold Valley ?. Famous for its huge catches of carp, match days here are like a who's who of the match fishing world. What many pleasure anglers don't realise is that the lakes are often almost deserted during the week, and they offer superb carp fishing to all and sundry.
Willow Park - Situated just around the corner from Gold Valley, the Willow Park lakes offer superb mixed fishing for a variety of species. Click on the link to read about some of the stunning catches made in our matches here.
Willinghurst - Each time that I visit this fishery the owner has added another lake, I think he's up to about 11 at the moment. Predominantly carp fishing, the various lakes offer a variety of styles and many big fish. Click on the link to get some inside information on how to make the catch of a lifetime on this fishery. UPDATE :- On 16th June 2005 the greed of the people running the cafe / tackle shop took over from common sense and the fishery has banned all floating baits. Here's the full story of how Willinghurst Fishery lost the plot.
Stubpond
- Situated near to Godstone, Surrey this is another
fishery offering a choice of lakes holding a variety of species, including Sturgeon
and catfish.
