About the water

Kirton Hall Lake is a six-acre mixed coarse fishery in the Suffolk countryside. The old estate lake is surrounded by oak trees, and the venue says it has been disturbed as little as possible. There are 54 fishing pegs, including 42 with large wooden platforms. In summer, most of these platforms have reeds separating neighbouring anglers. The stated fish stocks include carp to over 25lb, tench to 9lb 12oz and bream to 7lb. Perch, rudd, roach, crucian carp and skimmers are also listed. The website describes feeder, pole and float fishing as methods that work on the lake, while noting that results vary from day to day. It also says matches can be won from different parts of the water rather than from a fixed set of productive pegs. Day tickets can be bought through the website or from Tackle-Up in Felixstowe. Tickets are not sold on the bank, and fishing without a ticket is prohibited. Entry is controlled by a gate code, which online purchasers receive in their order confirmation email. The lake opens at 7am and closes at dusk or 8pm, whichever comes first; anglers must leave by closing time. Membership is currently closed to new applicants, although existing members can renew when due.
