At 1.3 acres is known for its Tench and Carp. Both lakes provide exciting and satisfying sport where substantial weights can be amassed in a day, throughout the year, to the float or feeder approach.
A survey was carried out on both lakes around 2009 and while there was a sufficient stock present, a number of young Tench and Crucian Carp were introduced to back up the already growing stock.
Tackle and Tactics
Pumphouse Lake will respond well to the normal small species tactics and most anglers will catch well on the pole or waggler.

You will find that the Tree Lake is directly in front of you, Pumphouse Lake lies to your left and Horseshoe Lake lies at the far end.
Directions to Pumphouse Lake via South Lake
From the M3, exit the M3 at Junction 4a, signposted, Farnborough. Bear left, following the signs toward Yateley / Reading. Proceed straight on for approximately two miles passing the Royal Engineers Gibraltar Barracks and shortly after the barracks turn right at the roundabout and go straight across at the next roundabout. Follow the road for approximately one mile through Cricket Hill into Yateley itself. Turn left at the roundabout at the end of the road on to the B3272 and, after 100 metres, turn right into Sandhurst Road.
Drive past Weybridge Mead on your left and the gate immediately on the left is the entrance to the South Complex leading to South Lake, Horseshoe Lake, Pumphouse Lake and Tree Lake.
Take the footpath on the house bank towards the gates (key required) that cross the footpath to Horseshoe, Pumphouse and Tree Lake. The gates must be locked after use.
No parking on the Sandhurst Road / Yateley Road is permitted and anyone found to have parked on the verge will face disciplinary action. Please ensure that all gates are locked and secure before you leave the fishery.
