Fishing Bough Beech

Roger Stangers 40+ Common captures 2025/26

Selection of last seasons captures.

I will be pleased when lockdown is over. I am fed up with people walking on my land. Breaking fences down at my lake and being sworn at by trespassers at the reservoir. The police are nothing more than a pathetic shambles and some of the public are nothing more than scum. Lockdown is lockdown.

Bough Beech will be shut for a period of 3 weeks to comply with covid 19 regulations

Another different 30lb pike this season. Looking forward to the carp season and hoping the reservoir might produce its first fifty.

Mark Has has just launched the South East reservoir championships for 2019. Tickets will be available from the Score fishing website at the start of March. Grab a ticket for a qualifier before they sell out.

The largest pike caught this winter to date at Bough Beech. Thanks Anton and well done.

To All match anglers that intend to fish the reservoir. You will follow our rules that have been in place for more than 20 years regarding urination whilst fishing. Under no circumstance will any urine be disharged into or close by the reservoir. Failure to meet this statement will result in the person being asked to leave. Otherwise the water company will stop all match fishing in the future..

the carp fishing grapevine is working overdrive this evening regarding the capture of an 80lb plus fish from Kent. In 1997 I supplied the fish in question , at a weight of 10lbs to Wingham fisheries. The fish was hatched from an egg in a zuger jar at my farm and reared in a stock pond before delivery to Wingham.

This how and where the Bough Beech carp started life. The fish house at my farm. Eggs incubating and early fry.
