Layer Pit

Situated just outside Layer-de-la-Haye about 4 miles from Colchester, this is an excellent fishery, with a well-deserved reputation for big fish and 17 acres of waters. The lake holds an impressive number of Carp weighing over 20 lbs, but is also a good fishery for the pleasure angler, with fish of all other species present. Layer Pit has a restricted membership which requires any new applicant to do four work parties and pay a joining fee. Access is severely restricted for the less active angler.
