Description
Set in the heart of the Surrey countryside, Willinghurst Fisheries offers coarse and carp fishing on 11 well stocked lakes
The stocks are mostly carp, roach, rudd and tench, but there are also a variety of others to be had. With competitions run throughout the year, Willinghurst Fisheries aims to provide both match and pleasure anglers of all ages an ideal venue to unwind and enjoy a good day’s fishing.
The lakes are spread over a 650 acre estate with several access roads depending on which lakes you want to fish. On a good day, bites are a-plenty and many of the regulars say that the relaxed, peaceful venue coupled with the well managed and stocked lakes make for an excellent venue. It sure beats river fishing!
There is now a cafe on-site providing breakfast for the early starters and good food throughout the day to keep your strength up but most of our regulars come for the carp. If you get it right, you might just bring in a 30lb fish, and big bags are certainly a regular occurrence. Some of our more keen anglers travel down from the north of England and spend a weekend fishing the lakes. it must be good to travel that far … what are you waiting for?
