Puddledock Fishery

Snake Lake at Puddledock Farm Fishery sits on St Mary's Lane in Upminster, Essex, and is a purpose-built 100-peg competition water approximately 14 metres wide and 1. 2 metres deep.

Pegs are spaced around 12 metres apart, with established reeds and rushes lining both near and far banks. The lake hosts regular open matches every Sunday and Wednesday, with winning weights frequently topping 100lb.

Species present include carp to 20lb, bream to 4lb, tench to 3lb, roach to 2lb, crucian and brown goldfish to 2lb, and rudd to 12oz. Although designed with match anglers in mind, pleasure anglers also fish the lake, finding secluded spots among the pegs.

The wider Puddledock Farm site includes an on-site café and tackle shop, with access for elderly and disabled visitors.
