Aldington on a blustery day

          

 This fishery,  has been producing excellent results in the last couple of years, with an excellent head of bream, some large roach and more than a few large carp.

It is the result of the flood relief scheme for the River Stour, and is on low lying marshy ground with some excellent wildlife. During heavy rain, the lake and all the surrounding land for many hundreds of yards can become submerged. For this reason it is important to note the weather conditions, and any increase in the water level should prompt you to leave the fishery as quickly as possible.

The lake itself is very irregular, both in shape and depth (from well over 15 feet to almost nothing), which makes for interesting fishing. There are a number of small islands within casting range and a small feeder stream enters at one end. Catching is possible under most conditions, even the wind, which always seems to be blowing here.
