This attractive 13.8 acre lake contains three islands and offers a good head of 20 and 30lb Carp to a current top weight of 40lb + at the right time of year.

A number of double-figure fish are also present, which have done well as a result of the management plans formerly undertaken on the fishery.

Common Carp to 43lb 12oz, Mirror Carp to a top weight of 48lb, Bream to 26lb+, Perch to 3lb 12oz, Tench to 7lb+ & Catfish are all present.

The Cats were stocked in 1993 as ‘kittens’ and the good head of fish that makes up the backbone of the stock, now top 62lb in weight with much larger specimens seen, but not caught.

Tackle and Tactics

Carp fishing on this venue can be very rewarding with exceptional specimens falling to the obvious bottom tactics.

Use bottom tactics to present baits on the bars or in the silty gullies for best results, and margins can be well worth the effort if you are quiet!

The Catfish offer an interesting challenge and once you have hooked a decent sized specimen you will know why they are such a popular quarry. Most cats come out to anglers fishing for Carp, but a live bait presented just sub surface is a killing method.

Remember to set your clutch properly to avoid being flat lined if you connect with a Catfish, which grow to over 60lb !

Superbly filmed Fishery Guides for all Farnham AS fisheries.

Superbly filmed Fishery Guides for all of Farnham AS  fisheries.

We are extremely pleased to announce that the first FAS Fishery Guide that was recently commissioned by the Executive Committee has now been completed and is available to view via our website. With links on both the relevant Fishery Pages and the Articles/Video page, you will be able to see the Match Lake at Yateley in all its glory and get some great guidance in terms of depths and features to assist you with your fishing.

Thanks to Jamie Smith of Cypry Productions who has done a fantastic job for FAS, and I would also add our appreciation to those that provided him with additional photographs for inclusion within the film. We will soon add further Fishery Guides, with Copse Lake and Nursery Lakes being next, and all other FAS venues will be being filmed over the next few months. These will help to provide you with better insight into FAS's fisheries and give you a chance to have a look at them ahead of making the journey to exploring them youself and fishing them.

Enjoy.
