The full rundown on Frant Lakes
Frant Lakes sits in roughly 150 acres of parkland near Bells Yew Green, with eight lakes across the complex. It’s a handy setup if you fancy a straightforward day on the mixed coarse waters, or a longer session after the bigger carp in Lakes 7 and 8.
Lakes 1 to 6 are the day-ticket waters. They fish Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 7am to 5pm, with tickets covering available swims across the six lakes. Do bear in mind that swims can be affected by match bookings on the day, so it’s worth having a bit of flexibility rather than arriving with one peg absolutely fixed in your head.
The mixed coarse lakes contain carp reported to 37lb-plus, along with perch reported to 4lb-plus, bream, roach, tench, ghost carp, orfe, chub and dace. That gives you plenty to go at, whether you’re after a few bites on lighter gear or hoping to nick a cheeky lump from the margins. Main-lake tickets are £18 for adults and £12.50 for juniors, with a £1 booking fee applying.
For a proper carp session, Lakes 7 and 8 are the ones to look at. They hold the largest carp on the complex and run seven days a week, with sessions lasting 24 hours or longer. Arrival is from 10am, and the first 24-hour-plus session costs £45, followed by £40 for each subsequent 24-hour session. These lakes are restricted to anglers aged 18 or over, with no spectators or visitors allowed.
There’s useful kit on site too, including a tackle shop, cafe, toilets, showers and parking. The cafe and tackle shop open from 8am, while the office is open from 7am to 5pm daily. Fishery vans can shift your gear from the main car park to the specimen lakes, which saves a fair bit of faff when you’re carrying the lot.
Tackle rules are fairly specific. Barbless hooks, a personal unhooking mat and the right-sized landing net are compulsory, while braid, bait boats and stalking are not allowed. All fishing must be pre-booked, bookings can’t be cancelled or transferred, and payments are non-refundable under the booking conditions. Get the admin sorted, pack the right net and you’re bob on.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Lake 1
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
perch
Worm or small lure for the perch
Perch hang round cover, boats and drop-offs. A lobworm on a light float, or a small lure worked along the features, will find them.
- Fish lobworm under a float tight to cover.
- On lures, try a small drop shot or soft shad near features.
- Feed chopped worm to keep them in the swim.
bream
Groundbait feeder at range for bream
Bream shoal up and graze over open, silty areas. A steady stream of groundbait in one spot keeps a shoal in front of you.
- Clip up and hit the same spot every cast.
- Start with 8–10 feeders quickly, then recast every 5 minutes.
- Worm, maggot or corn on a size 14–16.
roach
Float maggot for roach
On a mixed lake a waggler and a pint of maggots is the easiest way to keep the float going under all day.
- Feed six to ten maggots every cast.
- Shallow up if bites come on the drop.
- Size 18 hook and light hooklength.
Lake 1 FAQs
Can I fish Lake 1 overnight?
No. Main-lake fishing runs from 7am to 5pm.

Which baits work well on Lake 1?

As a rule, match your approach to the stock: with the fish the fishery lists here, a solid food-source boilie and a tidy presentation will catch anywhere on the complex.
When does Lake 1 get busy?
Weekends and bank holidays are busiest, especially spring through autumn. It's a day-ticket lake, so popular swims go early — arrive at first light or midweek if you can.
What weather suits bigger catches on Lake 1?

Which pegs are best on Lake 1?
Honestly, we don't rank pegs — the fish move with wind, pressure and pressure from other anglers. Have a walk and watch the water before you set up; the tips section above has what we've found so far.

How we'd fish Lake 4
carp
Zigs in the warmer months
In clear, deep water carp often sit up in the layers on warm days. A zig is the only way to get a bait in front of them.
- Start at half depth and move up or down a foot at a time until you get bites.
- Black or foam hookbaits work well on bright days.
- Keep it simple — no freebies needed.
carp
A bigger bed of bait at range
On wide, open water the fish move about a lot — a decent bed of bait at range holds a passing group long enough to get a bite.
- Find a clean, hard spot with a marker float and clip up so every cast lands on it.
- Bait boats aren't allowed, so spod or throwing-stick the bait out — little and often.
- Mix boilies, pellet and particles so there's always something left for the fish to graze.
- Match the hookbait to the freebies.
perch

Perch hang round cover, boats and drop-offs. A lobworm on a light float, or a small lure worked along the features, will find them.

Bait, rigs & seasons
How we'd fish Lake 6
carp
A bigger bed of bait at range
On wide, open water the fish move about a lot — a decent bed of bait at range holds a passing group long enough to get a bite.
- Find a clean, hard spot with a marker float and clip up so every cast lands on it.
- Bait boats aren't allowed, so spod or throwing-stick the bait out — little and often.
- Mix boilies, pellet and particles so there's always something left for the fish to graze.
- Match the hookbait to the freebies.
carp
Zigs in the warmer months
In clear, deep water carp often sit up in the layers on warm days. A zig is the only way to get a bait in front of them.
- Start at half depth and move up or down a foot at a time until you get bites.
- Black or foam hookbaits work well on bright days.
- Keep it simple — no freebies needed.
perch
Worm or small lure for the perch
Perch hang round cover, boats and drop-offs. A lobworm on a light float, or a small lure worked along the features, will find them.
- Fish lobworm under a float tight to cover.
- On lures, try a small drop shot or soft shad near features.
- Feed chopped worm to keep them in the swim.
bream
Groundbait feeder at range for bream
Bream shoal up and graze over open, silty areas. A steady stream of groundbait in one spot keeps a shoal in front of you.
- Clip up and hit the same spot every cast.
- Start with 8–10 feeders quickly, then recast every 5 minutes.
- Worm, maggot or corn on a size 14–16.

Tips & guides worth reading
How we'd fish each lake
Our own suggestions, worked out from each lake's features, its main fish and the venue rules. They're tried-and-tested methods, not reports from this venue, so watch the water and ask in the tackle shop on the day.
Lake 1
carp
A neat lead-clip rig over a light scattering of bait
When you don't know the lake well yet, the simplest approach is the best start: a reliable bottom bait rig on a clean spot, with just enough bait to get a bite without filling them up.
- Feel the lead down to find a firm spot, then clip up so you hit it every cast.
- Fish a single boilie or wafter with 20–30 freebies around it.
- Leave one rod roving and recast it to showing fish.
perch
Worm or small lure for the perch
Perch hang round cover, boats and drop-offs. A lobworm on a light float, or a small lure worked along the features, will find them.
- Fish lobworm under a float tight to cover.
- On lures, try a small drop shot or soft shad near features.
- Feed chopped worm to keep them in the swim.
bream
Groundbait feeder at range for bream
Bream shoal up and graze over open, silty areas. A steady stream of groundbait in one spot keeps a shoal in front of you.
- Clip up and hit the same spot every cast.
- Start with 8–10 feeders quickly, then recast every 5 minutes.
- Worm, maggot or corn on a size 14–16.
roach
Float maggot for roach
On a mixed lake a waggler and a pint of maggots is the easiest way to keep the float going under all day.

Our take on the feedback
Our read
Checked Sept '26 — “Frant Lakes is a cracking eight-lake complex on the Kent/East Sussex border, with six day-ticket waters and two specimen lakes holding the biggest carp. Proper flexible fishing, but booking ahead and checking the swim situation is essential.”
This is our own summary of recurring public feedback and the venue details we checked, not a copied customer review or a promise you’ll catch. Feedback changes, so we keep it separate from the Tackle Index score.
