Evening all,
Does anyone have any info on the Isfield angling club waters? There are no details on their website. Not after massive fish, just somewhere peaceful with some nice old carp to aim for.
Do PM me if you would prefer.
Many thanks in advance.

Mill Pond in Horstead Keynes is a stunning lake, not sure what's in there now though.

Was a member 25 years ago it as a great little club and had some excellent waters, one was an ornamental lake in someone's garden half chock a block with lilies. You had to book in advance and park in a public car park then hike to the lake, undergrowth and topography not suitable for a trolley or barrow. Quite surreal fishing at markers that were Roman statues. Only ever saw another angler on close season opening day 😀

Was that Buckhurst Lake in Withyham?
I was a kid when I went there but I remember the hike with a seat box and the Sundial swim!

Yes it was indeed! You lightweight, jumping straight in the sundial swim, it's the first one you come to lol!
Only joking mate, was a cracking lake about 20 odd years ago when I last fished it. I used to fish for the tench that were in abundance there, with light carp rods and home rolled Tuttis, was great sport.
Enjoyed my time on the Millpond too, had my first ever 20+ carp there!

Haha, I was about 12 and I think the steps up to the lake finished me off! I remember catching Tench but no Carp unfortunately.
I used to spend loads of time at the Mill Pond during my school holidays, managed a 20 and a few upper teens too. I remember the bailiff was a really nice bloke who kept it looking great.
I was down in East Grinstead with work a few months ago and had a little look at Wilderness, all of the bottom end is now fenced off.

From memory, I think the head bailiff was Keith Prevett (sp?) and Ray was his sidekick, both nice friendly blokes.

That's right, Keith was his name. I remember he walked into my swim and I had 3 rods out and a little radio on, he just smiled and asked how I was!
The Firtoll Baliff caught me doing a similar thing and wasn't so friendly or forgiving! 😂
