Lake John Fishery is one the most reputable fisheries in Essex and hailed as one of the premier silverfish venues in the country. The venue was established in 1992 and is a short drive from the M25, set in the peace and quiet of the Epping Forest, on the very edge of the Hertfordshire, Essex and London borders.

The main Top Lake is 2.5 acres with a rich and varied fish stock. There is a good head of carp, the biggest carp topping the scales at 46lb 4oz, plus plenty of bream and tench to keep the roach and the rudd company. There are also specimen perch that have topped the scales at over 4lb.

The Bottom Lake is smaller and more secluded and only 14m wide. It is ideal for match, club and pleasure anglers and a mixed fishery with plenty of good sport to be had.
