Wylands International Angling Centre is situated two miles from the historic town of Battle along Powdermill Lane which adjoins the site where the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066. The Centre occupies some 154 acres of rural countryside and comprises about 50 acres each of water, woodland and pasture. It provides sport for anglers of all ages and abilities from tiddler bashing to specimen hunting and provides facilities for the disabled.
With three specialist carp lakes holding specimens in excess of 20lb and five multi-specimen lakes which are also ideal for the juniors, Wylands International Angling Centre also boasts the country's largest single match lake at two miles in length and with some 205 pegs. Night Fishing is allowed and on-site accommodation includes self-catering chalets, touring caravans and a camping site. An ideal venue for all the family, there is a Snack Bar, Woodland Walks and both Gents and Ladies Toilets.
Described recently in an angling paper as: "One of the best angling centres in England - if not in the whole of Europe", Wylands has attracted many well known angling personalities including Andy Little, who made a film for Sky Television at the Centre, and his colleague Keith Arthur; Bob Nudd who made his video 'Bagging up on the Pole' at Wylands and Chris Yates, the star of the 'Passion for Angling' television series. Most of the lakes produce the occasional eel - the largest currently being 5lb 6oz from Middle Lake, but there are no pike in any of the waters.
For the latest information on how the lakes are fishing ask Tony at the Snack Bar. He opens at 7.30am all year round.
