Be the first to upload your recent catch
Established in 1991 under the umbrella of a large utility company, with just one lake and 65 members, we never imagined that 25 years down the line we would have 22 lakes, a previous British carp record and a very successful Environmental Consultancy.
We aim to create the best environment for both the wildlife and our members on our fisheries.
Going the opposite way to commercialised fisheries, we are keeping MKF as a typical old school fishing club which our members love.
Most of the lakes hold a good head of 30lb carp, with a few going onwards and upwards of 50lbs.
Some of our waters are well known for their specimen tench fishing, the Milton Pan lake was featured on Martin Bowlers DVD Catching The Impossible.

Conningbrook Lake
Conningbrook was dug out in the early eighties, the original strain of fish came from the waters we have in Faversham (wood pool and mill pool).Although this is a very hard water with approximately 30 known Carp present, the sheer size of these fish is exceptional. The anglers who fish this water on a regular basis know that the next run could be a personal best. The lake produced the British Reco
