Gabriels Fishery

The Lakes and River Eden

Gabriels Fishery in Kent features five expansive, picturesque lakes alongside a mile and a quarter of River Eden. The lakes are bordered by a partial forest, creating dynamic light and shadow patterns over the water. Water lilies and marginal plants not only enhance the scenery but also provide a nurturing environment for the fish.

Fishing Opportunities

Anglers can enjoy a variety of species, including barbel, bream, carp up to 40 lb, and pike reaching 24 lb. Admiral Lake, expanded in 2019, is home to large carp, requiring specific equipment like a 42-inch landing net or a carp cradle. River Eden offers catches of chub up to 7 lb, perch up to 4 lb 8 oz, and barbel near the weir. Each lake has its unique charm, from Hare Lake’s vibrant water lilies to Oak Lake’s islands and varied bottom composition.
