Bushy Park's many ponds and streams are home to a very good range of fish including perch, roach, chub, bream and rudd. It is a fine place for carp anglers. In 2002 Anglers Mail reported the catching of a 5lb 1oz crucian carp, which may well be a new British record for that species. Some carp in Bushy can grow to over a metre in length and up to 35lb in weight.
