Piltdown Pond
Piltdown Pond is a large 4 acre picturesque coarse fishing lake located about two miles North-West of Uckfield.
The water holds some large Carp to 20lb+, Tench to 7lb+, Bream to 6lb, Roach, Rudd, Perch to 3lb,
Eels to 5lb 8oz and Pike reach 20lb+. The water is very spacious with each swim offering a large
area of fishing space to the fisherman due to the swims being spread far apart from each other.
There were plans to make improvements to the lake including creating a new car park, swim improvements,
desilting the pond, weed control, stocking the water with more fish and creating an island at the
top end of the pond.
Piltdown Pond is now in the control of
Copthorne & District Angling Society (CDAS).

Catch Report
"halibut pellets work well"
"White chocolate boilies feed quite heavily and fish into the middle of the lake also cell dumbell
and 12/15mm halibut pellets work well."
