Swanborough Fishing Lakes
WHERE
Lewes
What it’s like
Day ticket carp fishing on two lakes near Lewes, open every day of the year from 7am to 7pm.
Two lakes here are open for day ticket fishing, the Specimen Lake and the Decoy Lake, both running 7am to 7pm. It's carp fishing, so if you've got a keen young angler who wants a proper session rather than a quick go, this is the sort of place that rewards a few hours of patience.
The Tench Lake is currently closed, so it's just the two waters in play for now. What's good is the 365 days a year opening, no faffing about with seasonal closures or bank holiday exceptions to remember. Turn up on a Tuesday in February and it's open the same as any other day.
There's not much to say beyond the fishing itself from what they list, so this suits families who already know what they're bringing and what they're after, rather than a spontaneous day out for a toddler who wants to feed ducks. If carp fishing is the plan, the long opening hours mean you can build a whole day around it without watching the clock too closely.
