Nestled in the undulating Essex countryside, Churchgate Lakes offers some of the finest fishing available in the country.
Set amidst a stunning 20-acre estate, the fishery is comprised of three lakes, each heavily stocked with large fish and a diverse range of species.
The complex boasts an impressive anglers lodge which has panoramic
views over the surrounding countryside. Offering the perfect environment to socialise and catch up on all the latest captures.
The site is totally secure and is protected by CCTV.
The Top Lake (Day Ticket required):
The latest addition at Churchgate Lakes, the Top Lake is a 5-acre water which is dissected by two large islands. Stocked with nearly 500 double figure Carp, huge shoals of bream to 10lbs, Tench, Roach and Ide plus lots of Skimmers.
A perfect water for the general coarse angler, the lake has only been lightly fished until now and has been producing huge bags for the lucky few. The majority of the swims have platforms and the lake is a perfect venue for holding group and club matches.
- 12 hour day ticket (6am - 6pm), two rod limit - £10.00
- Night fishing is for members only - all membership enquiries are dealt with on the bank
The Middle Lake (Members Only):
This 3.5 acre water is strictly Members only and holds prolific stocks of Bream, Tench, Roach, Rudd,
Perch, Catfish and Carp all to specimen size.
The Carp go to over 30lbs and the resident population of 20lb class fish is exceptional with one Member Alex English Currently being Top Rod with 49 fish over double figures and 18 fish over 20lb topped by a 29lb mirror, on a three night session. Multiple catches are common place and the average weight of the carp are 18lb plus.
The Cats go to over 40lb and are thriving on all the
live bait. They have had the odd Eel turn up the biggest being 7lb by their resident catman Kevin Gill.
Traditional Float Fisherman can really bag up on this lake and the Pole is devastating for quality Roach and Rudd that have never been hooked before, Crucians bigger than your hand, even bigger Tench and Perch that hover at the high end of 3lb.
The Bottom Lake (Day Ticket required):
The Bottom Lake is ideal for the smaller clubs and has 26 strong level platform that will take some beating for space and comfort.
There is a good head of Big bream and pleasure nets in the summer last year exceeded well over 120lbs on a regular basis. The carp of all sizes up to 20lbs and plentiful as well as Crucians, Roach, Rudd, Perch, Tench, Skimmers and Ide all to specimen size.
Phone Tony for info on the open matches being held here over the next few months. If you are looking for a venue for your club match, call Tony for available dates but hurry as they're gong fast.
