About the water

Chequertree Fishery is a well-established coarse and trout angling destination located in Bethersden, Kent, now in its 30th year of operation. The venue is comprised of two distinct waters: a dedicated Coarse Lake and a Fly Fishing (Trout) Lake. The Coarse Lake is heavily stocked with a variety of species including Common, Mirror, Crucian, Leather, and Grass Carp, alongside Bream, Tench, Chub, Perch, Roach, and Rudd. Notable specimens include carp reaching up to 35lbs and tench and bream both recorded up to 8lbs. The Trout Lake provides a tranquil environment for fly fishing, stocked with rainbow and brown trout, with a strictly enforced catch and release policy for all brown trout. Visitors have access to extensive on-site facilities including a purpose-built clubhouse that serves a breakfast and light lunch menu, takeaways, and hot and cold drinks, complemented by a licensed bar. The fishery caters to a wide demographic, from experienced anglers and match competitors to beginners and families. Accommodation options are available via luxury lodges and a touring park. The site offers various ticket durations including day tickets, evening tickets starting at 4:30pm, and overnight sessions ranging from 24 to 48 hours. Tackl tip: Ensure all catches on the Trout Lake are logged in the site book and note that gutting fish on-site is strictly prohibited.
