Fishing Lakes in Tunbridge Wells

Bewl Water dominates the fishing on offer around Tunbridge Wells, appearing twice on this page as a reservoir holding perch, pike and trout, with day tickets and season permits both available and camping or glamping pods for anyone wanting to stay nearby. It's fishing geared towards predator and fly anglers alike, rather than a dedicated coarse venue.

For coarse fishing proper, Frant Lakes on the Kent border is the alternative, spreading eight lakes across 150 acres and holding carp, tench, bream, roach, perch and chub. It's day fishing only, with no overnight stay and no night fishing permitted, so it suits a session rather than a longer trip.

Between the two entries for Bewl Water and the separate character of Frant Lakes, this small selection covers reservoir predator and fly fishing on one hand and varied coarse waters on the other.
