Home Wildlife Site Map
All the lakes at Bedfont contain a variety of fish species, but ONLY the Fishing Lake can be fished. Anyone caught fishing on any of the other lakes will be referred to the Fishing Lake. Repeat offenders will face a ban or prosecution.
Fish present in the lakes include: Pike, Tench, Common and Mirror Carp, Perch, Bream, Roach and Rudd, and the tiny Stickleback.
The Fishing Lake - Clockhouse Pool
Fishing at Bedfont Lakes is operated by the Barnes and Mortlake Angling & Preservation Society (BMAPS).
In order to fish at Clockhouse Pool you will first need to purchase a rod licence from the Environment Agency:
http://www.environment-agency.gov.uk/homeandleisure/recreation/fishing/31497.aspx
You then need to become a member of BMAPS. Further information can be found on their website:
http://www.bmaps.co.uk/index.html
BMAPS do not hire out fishing equipment, so anglers need to supply their own. Any fish caught must be returned directly back into the water.
A closed season operates from 15th March to 15th June.
A variety of species are present including 30lb+ Carp. Local rules apply on bait, hooks and keepnets.
