About the water

St Osyth (Triangle) is a two-acre irrigation pond managed by Paxmans Angling Club alongside St John’s Road, between St Osyth and Clacton. It is one of two lakes the club manages at this location and provides fishing for match and pleasure anglers. Fishing is available from two banks, with 13 swims in total. Depths range from 3 to 14 feet over a fairly uniform lake bed, which is very silty in places. Overhanging trees and reed-lined sections provide bankside cover. As the pond is used for irrigation, water levels can fluctuate. The club warns anglers to be aware of sloping banks at lower water levels and muddy conditions following rain. Carp make up most of the stock, with fish ranging from 3 to 12 lb and an estimated population of more than 700. Roach, rudd and perch are also present. The water is open throughout the year. Day fishing runs from dawn until dusk, while night fishing requires a night permit and is not available to guests. Anglers must use numbered pegs and may fish with no more than two rods per person per swim. Bait boats are not permitted. During darkness, a receiver must be used and alarm heads turned down. Parking is available in the car park or on the grass verge.
