Littlebourne Lakes
The Complex
Set in wooded Farmland just outside Littlebourne Village with good access and ample parking alongside the lakes. The venue consists of three lakes, all of which are well stocked and offer excellent fishing opportunities:
​
​​The fields and paths around the lakes are used for livestock and it is a condition of our fishing this venue, that all gates are kept closed and locked at all times and all litter must be taken away. Discarded line can cause unnecessary suffering and death to both wildlife and livestock and will result in the loss of our access to these fine lakes.​
Directions
You can access the track that leads to the lakes just north of Littlebourne village on Court Hill road:

Birch Lake
Birch is the largest of the lakes and contains the largest fish; Carp to 25lbs and Tench to 5lbs. So named after the Birch trees which line two of the three banks; it is the most picturesque of the three.
The lake has very good weed growth, with lilies and reed beds around the margins, and if you keep quiet and concealed the margins are the best area to fish. All allowable baits and methods (see byelaws) work and once again, mornings and evenings produce the most fish.
With large hard fighting fish and a lot of weed, strong, well-balanced tackle is a must.
Pump House Lake
Pump House Lake is the middle sized of the three and so named for the irrigation pump which is housed in the shed at the end of the lake, the inlet pipe runs out into the middle of the lake and can be clearly seen: beware of this man-made snag when fishing the nearby swims. The lake is well stocked with Carp to 16-17lbs and Tench to 3lbs.
Only two sides of the lake are fishable, the other being tree lined, provides ideal cover for the Carp. All allowable methods and baits (see byelaws) will give good catches with early morning and evening being the best times.
​Bramble Lake
Bramble is the smallest of the three lakes.
A rejuvenation project was carried out during 2025 where the lake was drained, netted and cleared of all carp. The swims were rebuilt & snags were removed.
-
In April 2025 the lake was stocked with crucians, tench, rudd & perch.
-
In December 2025 a large quantity of roach was also added to the lake.
With 12 well built swims, and fish increasing in size, this will become a fantastic "silver fishery".​​​​
