About Us
Furnace Lake Estate is a six-lake fishery set in scenic Sussex countryside which is widely regarded as one of the top big carp and catfish venues in the UK.
In 2007 it took the title for home of the biggest British catfish when a new rod-caught record was set from the venue at 91lbs and is now predicted to top the scales at over 110lbs.
Protected round the clock by a high-tech security system which ensures the safety of anglers, their vehicles and their equipment, Furnace Lakes closes its gates at dark and re-opens at 6.00am.
There are five specimen lakes, four of which contain carp to over 40lbs. In addition, several lodges and toilets are strategically located close to the lakes. Each of the toilets has washing facilities with hot and cold water whilst the lodges are equipped with a kettle, microwave and hot and cold water. The new Plantation Lake also has its own lodge and toilet. Although there is no electricity to this lodge it is equipped with a gas cooker and a gas fridge.
To make it easier for anglers to transport tackle to their pegs, the fishery operates four quad bikes and trailers. This service, which is offered at no additional charge, starts at 8.00am each morning and is designed for anglers who are fishing for a minimum of 24 hours. It is not available for dawn-to-dusk day ticket anglers.
To ensure anglers can make the most of their sessions at Furnace Lake, three full-time bailiffs are available to offer advice and assistance and to bring visitors up to speed about latest catches as well as current baits and techniques.
The emphasis is on providing high quality fishing in an attractive and quiet environment, and with carp to a minimum of 20lbs in all of the lakes, plus good heads of mixed fish in the non-carp specimen lakes, Furnace Lakes is a venue which ranks amongst the best in the country for pleasure and specimen fishing.
The shop on-site at Furnace Lakes also hires out a range of equipment including bait boats, bed chairs, bivvy’s, dvd players and more. Anglers interested in enquiring about the shop or equipment hire availability please email: thecabin@live.co.uk
Plantation Lake
With many outstanding features including a total of nine islands, several plateaux and deep holes and plenty of bankside vegetation, reed beds and lily pads, Plantation Lake offers a total of 20 woodchip pegs.
The new lake is equipped with its own fishing lodge which has a gas cooker and fridge plus a sink with hot and cold water. A newly constructed toilet again has its own hot and cold water.
Not surprisingly, Plantation Lake has been stocked with little consideration for expense with 160 genuine English carp. These are split 50:50 between mirrors and commons with seven of the fish weighing over 40lbs; 32 weighing 30lbs or more; 80 weighing between 20lbs and 30lbs and the remainder being in the mid to upper doubles.
The two largest fish banked to date have been a 48lbs 7oz common and a 44lbs 9oz mirror whilst 2008 is expected to see the venue's first 50lb fish come to the net.
Roman Lake
Roman Lake holds more than 20 carp running between 30lbs and 50lbs; 140 between 20lbs and 30lbs and about 50 carp between 10lbs and 20lbs.
Although four acres in size, there are only 14 purpose-built pegs on Roman Lake, whilst the lack of corner pegs and a central island in the shape of a dog's bone ensures no swim will be invaded by a neighbouring angler. An abundance of lily pads and margin grown gives plenty of cover for anglers as well as plenty of features to fish to.
The largest carp banked to date from Roman Lake is a 48lb 9oz mirror carp.
Specimen Lake
At three acres in size and with only eight pegs, Specimen Lake again has a central island and a similar stamp of fish to Roman Lake although the concentrations are not as high in this water with 70 fish being between 10lbs and 20lbs, about 20 between 20lbs and 30lbs and a handful over 30lbs.
The biggest in 2007 were a 43lbs 10oz common and a 43lb 7oz mirror.
Kiln Lake
Stocked during the winter of 2003/2004 with more than 150 carp, 80 of them over 20lbs, a further 20 over 30lbs of which many are in the high 30s, four over 40lbs and a Mirror which now weighs over 53lbs, Kiln Lake opened for angling in Spring 2004.
The remainder of the stock are nearly all double figure fish with few fish under 10lbs.
Varying slightly in depth from six to nine feet all over the lake, it pays to plumb the depth if you want to be precise and find the deeper holes, although so far most anglers have tended to fish to one of the eight islands or the gullies in between where they have seen the fish patrolling.
Furnace Lake
By far the largest of the Furnace Lakes Fishery waters, Furnace Lake is six acres in size and has enough room for more than 40 anglers on well-spaced and varied pegs which offer a choice of angling from big carp fishing to going for bream and tench to 6lbs, roach and rudd to 2lbs, pike to over 30lbs which few anglers tend to fish for and perch to 3lbs.
Indeed, in the 1930s, Furnace Lake held the British Rod Caught Record for perch with a fish just over 3lbs.
The water is very heavily stocked with several hundred carp in the 10lbs to 20lbs range, more than 30 between 20lbs and 30lbs and at least a dozen known to top 30lbs - the largest recent fish to be caught being a 38lb 12oz mirror.
Furnace Pond
About two-and-a-half acres in size, Furnace Pond incorporates two small islands and is one of those waters where, although it holds some big fish, even the novice angler can expect to catch well.
Stocked with carp to just under 30lbs, the majority in the 5lb to 12lb range with at least a dozen which run to more than 20lbs, the water also holds tench to 6lbs, crucian carp, roach and rudd to 2lbs, perch to 3lbs and a large number of skimmer bream to 2lbs with the odd fish running to 4lbs.
From Guildford follow the A281 and signs for Horsham. Continue on the A281 for about 12 miles until you come to Bucks Green. The entrance to Furnace Lakes is about two miles further along the A281 on the left hand side.
