Fishing
Sea Fishing - The island of Alderney in the British Channel Islands offers both the novice and experienced angler some of the best salt water angling in the UK. Within the rich diversity of life beneath the waves, there are numerous rocky outcrops and protected sandy bays providing protection for young marine life, enabling them to develop.
Combine this with the warm water currents which travel up from the Gulf and with one of the world's strongest tides through its rise and fall, and you then have the means for a wealth of sea life which leads to a healthy population of sea birds, sea mammals and a good stock of a variety of sea fish throughout the year.

Coarse Fishing - Both Common and Mirror Carp can be fished for at Alderney’s Corblets Reservoir. Fishing is on a strictly catch and release basis using unhooking mats and barbless hooks, this is to minimise the distress to the fish, whilst also allowing them to breed and develop into the monster size fish that they can become.
Angling for coarse fish, which are those types of freshwater fish other than game fish (trout, salmon and char), is particularly popular in the United Kingdom and mainland Europe. Coarse fish such as Carp, are generally not fished for food but are eagerly sought by anglers, being considered highly prized fish that are difficult to hook.
Corblets Quarry is a beautiful spot which is sheltered, making it an ideal location for fishing. Tickets can be purchased from Jonathan Gates. A day ticket is £5 and an annual membership is £100. Contact Jonathan Gates on mob. 07781 457024 or email. Jonathan.gates@hotmail.com
