Important Notices
Congratulations to Kai West who landed a PB of 22lbs at Nazeing, fishing with his mum,
dad and a guest from school. Between them they caught 14 fish and had a great day.
Work at Green Lane (both lakes) August 2026
As of this week and next, we have procured the support of the digger on the lakes again. The purpose is, where possible, to cut out and build as many steps/small platforms either in between swims (where swims are very close) or ideally next to each swim on both lakes. The will allow future-proofing of both lakes when the water levels are low, as they are currently, allowing anglers to land and return fish safely. At present some swims are over 3 feet from the top of the swim to water level.
We will not be closing the lakes, instead sections will be taped off that will be worked on that day or the following day. Please keep in mind that there will be a lot of noise during the day and you may be asked to move if you are fishing.
Thanks in advance.
Fishers Green Consortium
Due to critically low water levels and reduced oxygen levels, the river is closed to all fishing until further notice. To help protect the welfare of fish, this closure also includes all pike lure fishing on the lakes and relief channel.
Conditions will be review closely and updates will be provided when it is safe to reopen.
Newsletter
The 2026 ACAS Newsletter is now available on the Journal tab. With thanks to all of our contributors.
Hunters Hall - Maintenance
The next Hunters Hall closure will be 27th August, noon to 5pm.
Nazeing Lakes
We now have cages for nets/slings/mats on both lakes. Both lakes will require you to use the provided nets/slings/mats. You must not bring your own on to the fisheries.
Please do not mix the two lakes nets/mats.
Abbey Cross Angling Society would like to publicly thank Gardener Tackle and Angling Direct for their continued support with the supply of fishery specific mats, nets and slings for our Nazeing fisheries.
