Oakley Fisheries | Coarse and carp fishing venue review

Oakley Fisheries Review: Andrew Stevens, October 2015 Went to Oakley Fisheries Bromley. Good little fishery. It is a farm lake with a good number of 5LB-10LB fish. But some good lumps in there in 20's. Have caught a number of carp on pellets and paste for tench. Bread works well too. Only costs £7.00 so not bad value. The site has coffee and tea and toilets but no food, plenty of shops nearby though. Only downside on one side of…

The River Bourne rises in the west in the grounds of Windsor Royal Park and flows through Surrey where it meets the Thames at Hamm Court, Weybridge.
