GOLD LAKE :

A natural lake with depths averaging between 3ft and 8ft with 45 well-spaced swims around the six-acre lake.
All pegs can produce on the waggler whether fished up in the water, or fished at depth over groundbait or lose feed.One of the most popular methods is a float rod fished close in with luncheon meat or worm, some big pleasure catches (60 or 70 fish a day) have been taken this way.
Fishing at a distance, either with a feeder or big waggler is another style that produces big catches.
Fishing feedered maggots in the summer and feedered groundbait in the winter being the general rule of thumb.Pole fishing on Gold is unsurpassed, with double figure weights of prime Roach from most pegs, plus Bream, Perch, Tench, Crucians and a few Commons or Mirrors and 40 lb or 50 lb is on the cards.
Favoured by night or long stay anglers targeting big Carp, double rod fishing in conjunction with boilies or meat resulting in many personal bests being achieved.

MIDDLE LAKE :

3½ acres with 37swims, this lake was designed for bagging up on various methods and styles from pole to feeder or waggler.
Carp,Tench,Bream, Roach, Perch and Crucians being the target fish.Bream match weights being over 130 lbs.
Carp match weights of 100 lbs have also been taken.
The largest recorded carp from middle being 17 lb - 10oz.
One of the favourite styles is to fish a waggler up in the water and change to a straight lead as fish start to shy off, but keep feeding 6 or 10 maggots dropping through the water all the time.
All other styles also work well.
The areas around the island are unpredictable and a softly softly approach is advised, pole and maggot against the islands have produced some prolific weights of Carp for both match and day ticket anglers.

SYNDICATE LAKE :

Similar in size to Gold lake 6 acres and 42 pegs, with average depths of 5ft, again with shallow areas in the middle.
Syndicate holds a very large head of fish with Carp again being the dominant species.
Fish can be caught easily on most styles from feeder to pole.
The roach fishing on Syndicate has developed well plus it also holds a large head of Crucians, Tench, Bream and Perch with many approaching the specimen bracket.

BAT LAKE :

One of the most popular small lakes in the Hampshire / Surrey area with just 18 and just under one acre, depths vary from 1 to 4 ft plus.
The lake holds Tench, Carp, Roach, Perch, Bream, Crucians and Rudd.
The Carp go to around the 9 lb mark and on the odd occasion that competitions have been held on Bat lake weights have run up to just short of 120 lb.
Pole with float being the best method, with meat and hemp or maggots being the baits to use.

BUNGALOW LAKE :

A one-acre lake containing 23 swims with depths to 6 ft.
Some small islands, old willows, rushes and pipe reeds add to the day to make Bungalow Lake a must for either the experienced angler or the beginner.
