Layer Pit

Ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure? Charlie at Layer Pit Fishing Club has got you covered! Located just 4 miles from Colchester, this spot is a haven for anglers. Imagine reeling in Carp over 40lbs, Bream topping 16lbs, and Pike in the doubles—all in the past year alone. With plenty of Carp over 20lbs too, it’s the perfect place for a thrilling catch.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just fishing for fun, Layer Pit welcomes everyone. Skimmer Bream averaging 1.5lbs, along with fantastic Roach fishing, promise plenty of action and variety. In January 2019, 70 new fish were stocked, making the experience even better.

Membership is exclusive, with a joining fee that guarantees a dedicated community of anglers. And guess what? Layer Pit is open all year round, though night fishing is a no-go to keep everyone safe.

Conveniences like the refurbished toilet in the car park are handy. Just remember to use the combination code from your membership card and keep things clean for everyone’s safety.

Spanning 17 acres with 42 swims, there’s plenty of space to cast your line. Although there aren’t specific facilities for disabled anglers, the team is always ready to help ensure everyone has a great time.

Security is a priority too. After a few theft incidents, we’re keeping the gate closed during fishing hours, so please lock it behind you.

Charlie insists all members read the club rules in the handbook or on the website. These guidelines help keep Layer Pit pristine and the fish population thriving.

For exclusive access, upgrade to a Layer Pit permit by joining four work parties or buying vouchers. Stay an active member, and this special permit is yours!
