| Nestled in undulating Essex countryside, Churchgate
Lakes offers some of the finest fishing in the county. Set amongst a
stunning 20 acre estate, the fishery comprises three lakes, each stocked
with large fish and a diverse range of species. The complex boasts an
impressive anglers lodge with superb views over the surrounding
countryside. Offering the ideal location to socialise and catch up on
the latest captures, the lodge also has a bar and hot and cold food. The
site is totally secure and is protected by CCTV. The fishery also runs a
full season of open matches, which are open to all. The draw takes place
at 08:30. Details of the three lakes at Churchgate are as follows: 
Bottom Lake: Ideal for the smaller clubs, this lake consists of
26 strong, level platforms that take some beating for space and comfort.
The lake holds a large head of big bream with nets regularly exceeding
120lbs last summer. The resident carp run to over 20lbs with crucians,
tench, roach, rudd, perch, skimmers and ide all running to specimen
weights.
Top Lake: A 5-acre water bisected by two large islands, Top Lake
is the newest addition at Churchgate. This is a perfect water for the
general coarse angler. Until recently, the lake has only been lightly
fished and has been producing huge bags for the lucky few. The majority
of swims have platforms and this is the ideal choice for holding group
and club matches. This lake holds over 500 double figure carp, huge
shoals of bream to 10lb as well as tench and roach.
Middle Lake: The dedicated specimen lake with fishing available
to members only. 12 purpose bivvy swims are available. The current stock
of fish are thriving and the average weight of the resident carp is 16lb
with plenty of 20lb+ fish. Multiple catches are common with many night
anglers landing five 20lb fish in a night. Catfish to 40lb are also
present in Middle Lake. Always on the move loking for an easy meal,
suspended live baits on a summers evening are sure to get you a take or
two. This lake also holds roach, rudd, tench, perch and skimmers. |
