About the water

Newdigate Farms offers day-ticket fishing on a first-come, first-served basis, with fees collected by the bailiff. The website states that there is a choice of seven lakes, plus three additional lakes at its Rusper premises reserved for Dorking Angling members. Fishing runs from 7am until half an hour before sunset, with no entry outside these hours. Centre Lake contains catfish, pike, carp, tench, bream and roach. Paddock Lake lists carp, crucians, golden orfe and tench, while Snake Lake has carp, golden orfe, tench, bream and roach. Copse Meadow is a tench-only specimen lake, and Bean Lake is a carp-only specimen lake. Guinea Lake lists tench, bream, golden orfe and crucians. Canal, Clover and Jenny’s lakes are identified as members-only waters. Anglers may normally use up to two rods. Barbless hooks, an unhooking mat and a landing net of at least 36 inches are required for general fishing. Wet fishing equipment must arrive dry unless management authorises otherwise. Keepnets and fish retention are prohibited outside the separately stated match arrangements, and bait boats are restricted to specimen lakes. Under-16s must be accompanied by a competent adult. The waters are not lifeguarded; emergency throw bags are provided around each lake.
