Earls Colne Swim 6 Double Swim
Please note that you need to text 07854 066501 to check availability and book your swim (please remember to pay for membership) hours 7-7
Due to limited swims at Earls Colne, a double swim is priced for 2 fisherman and not a single person. Single fisherman are able to fish on the single swims and if wanting to book a double swim will have to pay the double swim price. This rule ensures that it is fair for everyone and we can maximise the opportunity for more people to fish. *should a double swim not be booked, the management reserves the right to offer this to a single fisherman*.
Swim 6 is another double swim that you will have to book up early to get. It is on the 'hot' side of the lake and therefore make sure that you have your sun cream on those hot summers nights. Swim 6 has great margins and a corner to the left, a over hanging willow tree, far banks and most will choose this side for obvious reasons, but as with other swims, do not forget the deep water right in front that always produces great fish. On the right hand side you have lilies and share the aerator with swim 5, perfect place for the larger catfish.
A large swim that easily fits 2 x double bivvies but Earls Colne is not really the right venue for international bivvies.
You can drive up to the swim, drop gear and then park in the golf club car park before setting up. You must have carp and cat care spray and if you turn up without, you will be told to leave and buy or buy on-site.
Don't forget that kebab shops, Chinese and other takeaway venues will deliver and just make sure that you use the bin provided or take rubbish with you.
The whole lake is otter fenced and you have a gate on your swim that must be closed as much as possible to prevent these and other animals entering the lake. Times are 7am-7pm and 7pm -7am and these are strict timings, this means is you are welcome to turn up at 10am but you will be booked until 7pm. Please respect other fishermen by ensuring that you do not use generators, have loud music, constant bright lights or cars running. Vehicles cannot be parked at the swims so that emergency services have full access to the whole lake.
