Southbourne Lake

The Fishery

Southbourne Lake is a picturess 5½ acre lake located in Eastbourne by the mini railway. Southbourne Lake has been stocked heavily with large specimen mirror carp which were introduced into the water a couple of years ago. Smaller mirror carp were introduced into Southbourne Lake during the winter of 93/94. There are a number of other fish in abundance including: perch to 1lb, roach 1lb 8oz and bream to 6lb. There are a few rudd that reach 1lb, tench to 3lb and pike to 15lb. The pike found their way into the lake when it was allowed to fill with water from the Lottbridge river. The water is controlled by Eastbourne Miniature Steam Railway (EMSR). The miniture railway is a miniture train that closely circles the lake.
