Linked to Hooks Marsh it can be said that the fish stocks are the same, big carp, bream and tench to well over double figures. More picturesque than Hooks Marsh with many more quiet corners to search. Night fishing allowed on this all-year-round fishery.

​

As the name implies Seventy Acre Lake is a large lake of some 65 plus acres the lake has islands, bays and varying depths and a good food chain.

 

It provides the perfect habitat for fish to grow large. With the vast amount of bank this water has not been really been put to the test in recent years.

 

Many years ago when commercials were unheard of and fishing in this neck of the woods was the various Lea Valley pits, canals and the Lea. In the summer there would be many anglers fishing for the Tench and Bream that abounded and in the autumn and winter Perch and Pike were the prey.
