Silverdale

Overview

Silverdale in West Sussex was created in 1995 when a spring was dammed to feed the main lake. This pond reaches a depth of 2.5 metres in the centre and serves as a breeding area for Carp. The calm waters make Silverdale a pleasant spot for anglers seeking a relaxed fishing session.

Fishing Experience

If easy fishing is on your mind, Silverdale delivers. Anglers can expect to catch around a dozen carp in a single session. Recently, the waterfall area has yielded impressive carp weighing up to 3lb. The Carp here are particularly fond of luncheon meat placed at about 2 feet depth. Using float fishing with light tackle adds to the enjoyment, making each catch a fun experience.

Fish Variety

Besides Carp, Silverdale is home to a good stock of Golden Rudd, reaching up to a pound, and a modest number of Tench. This variety provides a pleasant change for those who enjoy targeting different species. Whether you’re after the graceful Rudd or the sturdy Tench, Silverdale offers a diverse fishing opportunity without overwhelming complexity.
