Littlebourne Complex

Set in wooded Farmland just outside Littlebourne Village with good access and ample parking alongside the lakes. The venue consists of three lakes all are well stocked with carp, tench and some perch.

​

The fields and paths around the lakes are used for livestock and it is a condition of our fishing this venue, that all gates are kept closed and locked and all litter must be taken away. Discarded line can cause unnecessary suffering and death to both wildlife and livestock and will result in the loss of our access to these fine lakes.

​

​

The Littlebourne lakes are each closed for an annual month off for rest and respite; Bramble is closed for March, Pumphouse closed for April and Birch is closed for May.

​

Bramble Lake

Bramble Lake is the smallest and has fish with an average weight of 2-3lb with the occasional 10lb Carp and 3lb Tench. An ideal beginners water with good bags of hard fighting fish.

​

Pump House Lake

​

Pump House Lake is the middle sized of the three, and so named for the irrigation pump which is housed in the shed at the end of the lake, the inlet pipe runs out into the middle of the lake and can be clearly seen: beware of this man made snag when fishing the nearby swims. The lake is well stocked with Carp to 16-17lbs and Tench to 3lbs.

​

Only two sides of the lake are fishable, the other being tree lined, provides ideal cover for the Carp. All allowable methods and baits (see byelaws) will give good catches with early morning and evening being the best times.

​

Birch Lake

​

Birch Lake is the largest and contains the largest fish; Carp to 25lbs and Tench to 5lbs. So named after the Birch trees which line two of the three banks; it is the most picturesque of the three.

​

The lake has very good weed growth, with lilies and reed beds around the margins, and if you keep quiet and concealed the margins are the best area to fish. All allowable baits and methods (see byelaws) work and once again, mornings and evenings produce the most fish. With large hard fighting fish and a lot of weed, strong, well balanced tackle is a must.
