River Medway Sports Ground
A narrower section of river is found here, as the Medway splits in two directions to encircle the sports ground. The depth is around 4ft, the flow is sluggish, especially in summer. All river species are present with good chub and specimen roach, bream bags of 50lb have been taken from Tinkers Island and behind the bowling green, but watch out for the occasional carp, barble and very large tench that patrol these areas. Hemp and caster takes good nets of roach in the summer months. This venue responds best to the little and often method of ground bait. If you ball it in, be prepared for a long wait for your first bite. Boats can be a problem for long pole users on sunny summer weekends.
Day tickets obtainable on the bank from bailiffs.
Parking is available at three local public car parks.
Toilets at several locations.
Access is good with tarmac footpaths following the line of the river. The banks are even and comfortable suitable for disabled anglers. The sports ground is within easy walking distance from Tonbridge Rail Station.
Consideration must be given for other users of the park,do not obstruct the footpaths. Fishing is restricted to park opening times as displayed on entrance gates entrances.
