Medway - Hartlake

Brief description of fishery:

The fairly wide section of the River up and down stream of the Hartlake Bridge has many features  including overhanging trees, reed fringes, lilies and Lock cuts and a wide variety of species. The depth varies from 4ft across gravel to 12ft deep holes and is occasionally used as a venue for open and league matches where Roach, Bream and Chub in excess of 1lb,5lb and 4lb respectively make up most winning nets.

There are plenty of smaller fish with Bleak, Gudgeon and Perch all present plus a good head of large Pike. There have been Carp in this section of river for over 100 years. The large fish above Porters Lock do not seem to get caught and have seldom seen a boilie. The even bigger Carp above East Lock only get targeted by a few anglers.
