Dents of Hilgay, a member of Premier Fisheries

Established 14 years ago by Tom Dent in the West Norfolk Fens, Dents of Hilgay aims to provide great sport in a safe, natural environment. There are five lakes set in 150 acres of landscaped countryside with six acres of trees and two acres of hedgerows. Carp run to 32 lb and pleasure nets to over 200 lb, ensuring whatever sport you enjoy you’ll find it on site. Facilities include over 130 easily accessible pegs, ample car parking and clean, well maintained toilets with disabled access.

The farm shop stocks a wide selection of food, drinks and a Carp1variety of dry baits (no maggots). Safety floats are available, and more are planned. The fishery is a popular choice for anglers for its pleasant surroundings and is well used by juniors and the disabled. Dents of Hilgay actively encourage youngsters to take up fishing.

The lakes are open every day, but night fishing is not allowed. Day tickets are ?6, with concessions available for anybody with a concessionary fishing license.

The Lakes

There are five lakes, all landscaped with extensive tree planting and banks well established with reeds, rushes and plenty of vegetation harbouring wildlife and birds including kingfishers.

Farm Shop Lake is eight acres with 30 pegs. Dug back in 1948 it is surrounded by reeds and with a reedbed island – you will hardly see another angler. Prolific for crucians to 3 lb and tench to 8 lb, there are numbers of roach and rudd to 2 lb-plus and a handful of carp to just over 30 lb, although not easily caught.

Kingfisher Pond is quarter of an acre with 11 pegs, a mixed fishery with good nets of crucians, tench, chub, barbel and perch plus carp over 20 lb. Best methods are pellet or corn under your feet.

The three West Fen Lakes are found further down the Fen Road. Willows has one island and has 38 pegs with carp nudging 30 lb, and a good stock of double-figure fish falling to boilies. Method feeder with pellet to the island also scores well for fish4big bags of 5-10 lb fish. There’s a good head of silver fish with 60 lb nets of roach and rudd and good winter fishing on the waggler and feeder.

Two Island Lake has 30 pegs and also had a large stock of carp 5-10 lb for real carp hauling action, whether on pole, floating pole or Method feeder. Chub run to 6 lb plus and barbel to 8 lb.

Spinney Lake has 23 pegs and a large stock of smaller carp and F1s making it a great year round venue. Nets to near 200 lb have been recorded with margin fishing always productive on pellet, corn and meat.
