A large lake
with many islands and peninsula's from which to
fish. The pits are worked out gravel pits,
last used before the war, weed can be a problem
and it is wise to go prepared to rake out the
swim in summer. Species to expect are
tench, bream, perch, roach, pike and a few carp
also present.
The river is slow and clear at this point, not
to wide and reasonably deep. Principally a roach
and dace water also found are perch, chub and
tench. |

BOUNDARY
-
At this point
the river forms the county boundary. On the
Suffolk bank (nearest the A1092 road) the river
fishery extends for 250 yards downstream from
the bridge to a high barbed wire fence.
Also upstream for 20 yards to a little joining
stream which runs along the back of the gate car
park. On the Essex bank of the river, over the
L.A.A. iron bridge, the fishery extends
downstream to a dyke, forming the outlet from
the lake to the river, and upstream to a point
20 yards past the electric power cables,
approximately 100yds short of the old railway
bridge. |
|
Beware of
these overhead cables
at the upstream end of the fishery.
No fishing under them. |
|
The lake is
at the end of the hard track. It is virtually
divided into two halves by a string of
interconnected islands running diagonally from
the near left hand corner to the right hand
corner. Access is not permitted via the railway
embankment forming the far bank. |
