Part of carp fishing history, Cuttle Mill's Mill Pool now has a maximum of 8 anglers allowed to fish at any one time. Under threat from HS2 it was closed but fishing has now been allowed again, but for how long? Experience it while you can.
A 4½-acre clay-lined irrigation reservoir with 12 swims. There's an average depth of eight to nine feet and plenty to find. The average size of carp is around 20lb and most tactics will work well, including zigs when the conditions are right.
At just over 25 acres, Barden has become a recent Mecca for carp anglers in the Tonbridge area. There's a large head of carp running up to well over 40lb with numerous 20lb and 30lb-plus fish. There is a small no-fishing bank where there's a large bird-feeding area. As well as varied depths, there are two islands and these tend to be good fish-holding areas.
