Essex fisheries & stillwaters

Find fishing lakes and fisheries in Essex

Essex is England's gravel pit capital — decades of aggregate extraction have left a dense network of day-ticket lakes from the Thames estuary to the Colchester hinterland. Commercial multi-lake complexes, big carp pits and river-fed stillwaters give anglers an enormous range of options. Use the directory to compare fish species, local areas, facilities, and ticket-buying routes before deciding where to fish.
