Never mind the weather...."The time to go fishing is when the chance comes. And the way to go is with a free and hopeful mind,and an eye quick to make a note of things. There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worst. Either is a gain over just staying at home."

The Society consists of both coarse & trout sections. The larger coarse section has extensive waters throughout Kent.The Trout section was formed in 1954 and has two Kent waters at Lullingstone Castle in Eynsford, & at Yorks Hill Farm, Ide Hill. The season runs from March through to the end of November.

Lullingstone Castle Lake is about 14 acres & is the habitat of many species of fly-life, such as Damsels, Pond Olives, Sedge, buzzer & Mayfly. Although it is possible to fish from the bank most of the fishing is from boat of which the Society has a number for use by the members. The lake is stocked on a regular basis with Rainbow trout of around one & a quarter pounds but with occasional larger fish. The Society operates a limited catch and release policy and as such there is a limit on the number of fish that can be caught and taken but there is no limit on the number of days members may fish.

Yorks Hill Farm is our latest water and at present consists of two small lakes the largest of which is about one and a half acres. This fishery is entirely catch & Release. The lake is stocked only once, at the begining of the season which means with the overwintered fish it offers some very good conditioned fish as the season unfolds.

The Society also has a stretch of the River Darent at Lullingstone that is stocked with brown trout and a full catch and release policy is encouraged on the river.
