RUSHBROOK RESERVOIR (KETTLEBASTON)
Brief description of fishery:
Rushbrook Reservoir, located in the picturesque Suffolk countryside, can be a bit tricky to find, but once you do, you’ll be welcomed by an 8-acre former farm irrigation reservoir. The water reaches depths of up to 14 feet at its deepest point, with fish moving from deeper areas in winter to the shallower regions in summer. Rushbrook is an excellent fishing spot for match, pleasure, or specimen anglers, offering a range of species to target year-round, including bream, carp, roach, rudd, perch, pike, and tench.
