Carp Fishing in Ashford | Fishing Lakes for All Angling Abilities

At Forest Lakes Kent, we have a dedicated carp fishing lake open to visitors and members alike. The lake is located in a woodland area with plenty of shade in summer, and it overlooks rolling hills and the countryside, so you can unwind and enjoy a peaceful day or night in Ashford. We have an on-site store selling carp bait, homemade boilies, bite alarms and more, so you are well equipped for your session. Or, if you are looking to fish a different feisty species, we also have a dedicated catfish lake, so we have something for everyone.

Our Carp Lake Rules

We have a few rules for people looking to fish in our lake for the safety of our lake and fish:

  • Landing Nets Must be Dipped on Entry

  • No Keep Nets

  • Anglers Must Have a Valid UK Rod Fishing Licence 

  • Dogs Must be Kept on Leads

Landing nets must be dipped upon entry because this is a biosecurity measure that helps prevent the transfer of disease between waters. We also love having dogs on-site, but we ask that they be kept on leads so as not to scare the fish and to ensure that the experience is peaceful for everyone else.
