Willinghurst Fisheries

Set in the heart of the Surrey countryside.

A total of 9 well stocked lakes set in the heart of the Surrey countryside.
Although stocked mainly with carp other species such as roach, rudd and tench also reside.
The lakes cover a total of 650 acres complete with some access roads depending on which lake you fish.
Although facilities are somewhat limited there is Parking, disabled access and refreshments.
The well managed and stocked lakes are sure to have you hooking fish to 30lb+.
With most of the lakes containing a big head of carp, roach and rudd this surely is big bait venue.
Successful and popular baits seem to be corn, meat, paste, banded pellet, chum mixer or worm. Hemp and pellet make an excellent feed, but balls of groundbait seem to be a no no, although the method feeder can be deadly sometimes.
As with most day ticket carp fisheries, the big fish come into the bank as the day wears on, and late afternoon/evening is the best time for catching a big carp in close.
Many of the lakes on the estate are quite small and intimate so you'll probably have the lake to yourself!
