Description:

If you are looking for Membership or Day ticket Coarse fishing in Essex, then look no further than MILL BARN COARSE FISHERY who offer membership & Day Ticket Fishing all year round. A five lake complex set in the peaceful Wakering countryside in the South East corner of Essex. This idilic Essex coarse fishery was established over 25 years ago, growing from the original members lake, it now boasts 159 swims offering something for everyone. Whether you enjoy Carp fishing, Pleasure fishing or Match fishing, you and your family will find it all here at Mill Barn.

Each lake is available as a day ticket (except the members Lake) and each has its own unique character, and moods, which always keeps the angler guessing what they will catch next. Stocking levels are such that even during the coldest months, you can be sure the rods will always have a nice curve in them.

Carry a lot of gear? No worries as there is car parking adjacent to all lakes which means you only have a few yards to walk to your choice of swim. Memberships are always available with no waiting list, however the complex is never crowded, you can always be sure you can find a swim that suits exactly what you want.

Regular matches are held throughout the year, and are open to both members and non-members. If you are new to match fishing, and would like to join in but not sure where or how to start, this is the ideal venue. Regular members who fish the matches are always keen to help out, with optional pools money to suit everyone.

At Mill Barn Coarse Fishery there are strict rules regarding children and under 16's - these rules ensure everyone can enjoy their day out without fear of it being spoilt by any unruly behaviour. * PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED ON THE COMPLEX * For further information, and membership and Day ticket prices see tabs above
