This four acre lake was, originally, developed as a match fishery and its high density of fish make it an easy water. A session on the Small Pond is a treat for anyone who likes to see a bend in their rod whatever their level of experience.

The small pond has been the Society’s premier match fishery for more than twenty years. High stocking density provides prolific sport throughout the year.

Dominant species are Carp to 10lb with a few larger ones, Bream to 4lb. Large shoals of Roach and hybrids, Tench and many Crucians. Carp and Tench in the summer months, Roach, Bream and Carp in the autumn, Roach, Bream and hybrids in the winter months.

Whatever method you use produces large nets of fish. The pole, feeder or the waggler will catch 50lb plus bags of mixed species whilst pleasure fishing. The biggest match weight last season was 123 lb of Carp to 12 lb caught on pole and chopped worm, one of many methods used on this fantastic fishery.

Tackle and Tactics

Tactics for Carp on this venue cover the whole range of methods available on the Pole, Feeder, Waggler and the standard Carp anglers arsenal of boilies and pellets

The Bream and other species fall easily to the pole, feeder and waggler with some methods, such as spraying maggots,. banned by the match anglers as they are too effective!

Dog Biscuit for the Carp on the surface can be a killer method during the warmer months of the year.

Another great idea from both Rob Applegate and Jonathan Godfrey with whose help this great social event started last year, let's hope for another great turnout this year and plenty of fish for all concerned.

Badshot Lea Big & Small Ponds + Tarn Pond fishery guides

Farnham AS now have three more fishery guide films on our website, featuring Badshot Lea Big Pond, Badshot Lea Small Pond and Tarn Pond. These provide a wealth of information for those new to the water as well as some in depth analysis for those members who may have fished them but are looking for some additional pointers as to how they may be tackled. Our thanks to all those that supplied information and photos for use within the films.

The films may be viewed in full HD quality via Farnham Angling Society's website/YouTube by using the following links:

And as always, our thanks to Jamie Smith at Cypry Productions for his great work on behalf of Farnham Angling Society.

Junior Teach In – Badshot Lea Small Pond: The Pellet Lead – 19th August 2013.

The next day, I was showing an angler floater fishing and with temperatures rising to 26 degrees and with no wind, we instantly knew that we had made a wise decision, especially when a cruising carp slurped in a few floaters in front of the car park on Badshot Lea Big Pond.....

Duncan Charman - FAS Junior Members Organiser, gives us an overview of the Barbel Teach-Ins held on the River Loddon, Stanford End during 2013.
