This fishery containing three separate ponds was purchased with the generous support of a Sports Council Lottery Grant and was officially opened by Bob James of 'Passion For Angling' fame in September 2000. A lovely, peaceful and sheltered location makes this fishery a favourite for many of our members. The ponds have been stocked to provide a variety of angling that reflects our membership with something for the pleasure, specimen and match anglers.

Situated just outside Storrington recent re-stocking and fishery management measures have been undertaken on the 3 ponds on this complex.

This small picturesque pond with its many varieties of water lilies and weeping willow trees is a pleasure to visit even without the fishing. It is stocked with Tench to 7lb and Crucian Carp to over 3lb. Being situated adjacent to the car park this water is ideal for our less able member, and there are in fact swims specifically designated for them. Being a small pond the fish do respond better with the minimum of disturbance. A further stocking of Tench has recently taken place.

Carp Pond

This pond is now open again after improvements were carried out to the bed of the pond. It has been stocked with a good head of new Carp which go to 20lbs. A variety of carp including Mirrors, Commons and Ghosties were introduced in November 2011. With the improvements to the pond and with a much larger head of Carp we expect to see a vast improvement in the catch rates next season. If you have a good catch from this or any other of our waters then please let us know by contacting the Webmaster

This pond was designed for the match angler and has an island running down the middle. It has about 20 pegs with the wider part of the pond showing the better form. It has been stocked with small Carp, Roach, Rudd and Tench. The water is available to all members when not being used for matches. This pond along with the others has benefitted from further stockings of fish since the initial stocking.
