| Location | Witham |
| Description | The Society owns this attractive lake of 4 acres set in open countryside near Witham, and Hatfield Peverel. The lake is a general fishery with a high stocking density of fish of varied species including Bream, Tench, Crucians, Roach, Rudd and Golden Orfe and Ghost Carp. Also present are many Carp with a few fish into double figures and a couple of 20's as a bonus. Surprisingly, for a stillwater there are also some good Chub. One of our latest new species are the Barbel which were stocked into the water during 2001. According to the experts Barbel thrive very well in stillwaters but do not breed as they need running water to spawn. Parking is easy and access for disabled anglers is good. |
| Opening Times | Olivers is open all year round with no close season. Night fishing allowed at no extra cost. |
| Toilets | The toilet is located in the car park, and is present all year round and is regularly cleaned by a contracted company. |
| Water Size | At just over 4 acres this venue offers all types of angler the chance to fish together with easy access to all areas and pegs. |
| Disabled Details | There is one peg reserved for the disabled angler but all the swims around this lake are capable of taking disabled members. With a clean firm track right around the fishery this makes for easy access. |
