Amazon Wood Fishery

The Fishery

Amazon Wood Fishery is a three lake fishery situated in 20 acres of peaceful Polegate woodland. The fishery was up until three years ago a series of eight 60 year old brick pits until the owner of Amazon Wood Fishery transformed the overgrown, deteriorated pits into three highly prolific fishing venues. The lakes are divided into two day ticket fisheries, and one members lake. Amazon Wood fishing lakes are ideal for the fisherman looking for a day of relaxing fishing, they are ideal for fishermen looking for some exclusive fishing, and they are ideal for the fisherman looking to catch a UK record. The day ticket waters hold a wide diversity of fish including: common carp to 16lb, mirror carp to 15lb, ghost carp to 10lb, leather carp to 8lb, crucian carp to 2lb 8oz, tench to 3lb, roach to 1lb 8oz, rudd to 1lb 8oz, perch to 3lb, large eels to 5lb and silver bream that have been recorded to 1lb 7oz. The largest recorded silver bream from Amazon Wood lakes is only 5oz off the current UK record. There have been numerous rumours of silver bream being put back that would seriously challenge the current silver bream UK record. The members lake is stocked with Mark Simmonds Fisher Pond mirror carp plus some mystery fish. For more information on the members lake contact the owner.
