The Willows
Run by Chelmsford Angling Association There has been ongoing work to the willows since we purchased the water to go with our flag ship water Boreham Mere.
There have been many transformations including the security fence and new gate making willows a very secure water to fish for all the family.
The Willows has varying depths to 15 feet. Past catches over recent years show Carp had exceeded the 50lb mark with there being some very old king carp amongst these.
There are currently 2 40 lb+ carp present plus a few over 30lb and plenty of 20lbers. Other species are Bream to 13lb, Tench to 12lb, Eels to 6lb and pike to mid double figures. Large specimens can regularly be seen in the clear water.
The silver fish have thrived since they were stocked by CAA and matches are now won with better weights as time progresses.
Willows continues to go from strength to strength as with all CAA waters provide some of the best night fishing in Essex. Designated swims for disabled anglers close to the car park. Toilet on site. Night fishing available with valid permit. Open for fishing 1st May
