General information
Trinity Waters Wildmarsh is an established and popular specimen carp and coarse fishing complex. The site extends to a total site area of 17.1 acres (6.9 ha).
Location
The property is located on the northern edge of the village of Chilton Trinity, approximately 2 miles from the town of Bridgwater, 14 miles north of Taunton and 30 miles from the city of Bristol. The fishery is located within 4 Miles of J23 of the M5 motorway.
The Fishery
The fishery was originally excavated for the clay before being landscaped and transformed into a coarse fishery. The fishery has been operated by the current family since 2003 and is known as being one of the best coarse fisheries in the south west.
The lakes are fed by a combination of groundwater and rainwater, with an outlet to the Wildmarsh drain.
The water area from the three main lakes extends to approximately 8.5 acres with additional ponds and wetland.
Wildmarsh Lake - Extending to 5.2 Acres (2.1 ha) with 35 swims and an average depth of 7-8ft. The largest lake on the complex with a large central island accessible via a bridge.
Chandos Lake - Extending to 2.5 Acres (1.0 ha) with 9 Swims and an average depth of 7-8ft. A specimen carp lake operated via a booking system.
Middlemarsh Lake - Extending to 0.91 Acres (0.3 ha) with 16 Swims and an average depth of 6-7ft. A pleasure fishing lake operated on a day ticket basis.

The fishery is well stocked with coarse fish species, including a large stock of Carp to 37lbs, grass Carp to 25lbs and Crucians to 4lbs, Tench to 6lbs+ , Bream to 11lbs, F1's to 4lbs.
Stock Ponds & Wetland Area

The fishery benefits from a small timber building situated next to the car park providing an angler's W.C.
Income
The fishery is currently operated on a day ticket booking system operated by the owners. The three lakes are available to fish year round, with prices on the Trinity Waters website. Details of the income and expenditure available from the agent.
Bridgwater Tidal Barrier
