Discover Specimen Lake

Specimen Lake in West Sussex boasts a balanced ecosystem where native fish thrive. The Main Lake is home to impressive specimens, with Pike approaching 30lb and various Carp types surpassing the 30lb mark. Tench also reach commendable sizes, just under 10lb, while Perch, Rudd, and Roach are available up to about 2lb.

Fishing at Its Best

Only home-bred fish are stocked, ensuring a natural environment for anglers. Using good quality 18mm boilies on a hair rig is the key to catching carp. The lake is rich with features, making it ideal to cast towards these spots and patiently wait for a bite. Tench anglers enjoy sweet corn, sweet-flavoured boilies, and lob worms, while bread maggot and luncheon meat lure Perch, Rudd, and Roach effectively.

Angler Support and Conservation

The presence of bailiffs and staff, including Andy, ensures a supportive fishing experience. Beginners can receive assistance, making their time on the lake enjoyable. Wildlife and conservation areas around the lake highlight the commitment to maintaining a healthy environment for both fish and anglers. Whether you’re seeking guidance on the latest hot spots or admiring the thriving fish population, Specimen Lake offers a well-rounded fishing experience.
