The Fishery

Buckshole Reservoir is a large, deep 8 acre water located in Hastings in the relaxing Alexandra Park. The water and surroundings support a lot of wildlife including a large variety of ducks and a few swans. Buckshole Reservoir supports a sizeable number of coarse fish for the match fisherman, some very large carp for the carp enthusiast and some very good sized pike. The water is considered a hard fish for the carp angler but the rewards are worthwhile with carp reaching 36lb. The reservoir is controlled by Hastings, Bexhill and District Freshwater Angling Association who also offer the water as a day ticket venue. Day tickets can be obtained on the bank.
