Fishing Lakes in Colchester

Colchester's five listed fishing venues range from large reservoirs to smaller, more contained fisheries. Abberton Reservoir and Ardleigh Reservoir represent the bigger stillwaters on this page, offering a different day out from the likes of Snake Pit Fishery and Stour Valley Fishery, which sit at a smaller scale.

Layer Pit, listed under CAPS, completes the five venues covered here for Colchester.

For anglers wanting to look beyond the town, Maldon has its own page with five listed venues, a similar number to what's on offer here. Brentwood, Saffron Walden, Witham, Waltham Abbey and Chelmsford also have their own pages, with listings ranging from two to four venues apiece, should Colchester's five not cover what you're after.
