Picks Cottage Fishery is a five lake fishing complex available exclusively to members. Every lake on the complex is tailored to a different style of fishing to ensure some of the best sport available in the South East. Over the years we have invested in the complex to provide outstanding facilities and fish stocks for members. With an onsite tackle shop, caf and toilet facilities, your time at our complex will always be enjoyable (even when the fish aren't biting!).
My 24 hour session at Picks Cottage was a long time coming. I've known about the venue for probably around 10 years now, I don't know what's taken me so long to get here. Work, family life, I can give you all the excuses. I finally got here and it was everything I imagined it to be. I think the draw for me at Picks Cottage is the type of carp that reside in here.
There's a real mixed bag and speaking with Jamie the owner, over the years they've stocked it with many different strains of fish plus there's the originals.

Services
Located on a small 60 acre farm on the outskirts of Essex and London, Picks Cottage Fishery was originally used as pasture for the cattle on a small family farm.
The first lake, known as 'Top Lake' today, was constructed in 1987 by Andrew T Roddick to irrigate the families 'pick your own fruit' business.
With the popularity of angling growing rapidly through the 1990s, the fishery soon expanded.
In 2012, it was decided by Andrew T Roddick to hand management over to his son Andrew J Roddick (known as Jamie).
