Powdermill Reservoir is located near Sedlescombe on the borders of East Sussex and Kent and was constructed to provide water to the Hastings area. On completion of Powdermill reservoir in 1932, Hastings Fly Fishers Club was formed by a small group of like minded local anglers who have leased the fishing rights ever since.
The 56 acre reservoir is stocked with rainbow trout of exceptional quality which have a reputation for being hard fighting and well proportioned fish. These rainbows are bred and reared by a hatchery in the West Country and although there are sources nearer to us, we believe that these are the best stocks available. There is also a good head of resident brown trout which should be returned when caught.
