About the water

Manor Fisheries is on Love Lane, approximately half a mile from Headcorn in Kent. It has three coarse fishing lakes with bays, weed beds, rushes and islands. Fishing is restricted to members and guests with accommodation bookings. The website currently carries a notice that the lakes are closed because of severely low water levels, with an intended reopening in September; no year is given. Lake 1 Carp covers 1.1 acres and contains common and mirror carp. Lake 2 Carp/Catfish covers 1.2 acres and holds Wels catfish alongside common and mirror carp. Each specimen lake has nine swims, including doubles, but angler numbers are limited to five per lake. Mixed Lake 3 covers 1.6 acres and allows up to 20 anglers. Its stocks include smaller carp, tench, bream, roach, rudd, crucian carp and perch. The website advertises both day and night fishing. An anglers’ cabin between Lakes 1 and 3 provides a flush toilet, drinking water, tables, chairs, a kettle and a microwave, with additional seating on a covered porch. Parking is adjacent to the lakes. Three self-catering apartments are approximately 150 yards from the water. Accommodation guests receive complimentary membership for their stay and are instructed to book their accommodation before booking swims.
