LOCATION:  Sandhurst Road, Yateley, Hants. GU47 8JQ

SIZE:  Lake: 12 acres.

The South Lake is an attractive, mature venue full of features. Situated on CEMEX Angling’s world famous Yateley Complex, it holds some 300 fish with a good head of commons and mirrors over 20lb to a current top weight of over 31lb.

The fishing is not too tricky but make sure you have a good look round before you fish as there are plenty of features and the carp do show themselves. The bailiff team is particularly knowledgeable and it’s well worth asking for the most up-to-date information! The Yateley Angling Centre will also be pleased to offer up-to-the-minute advice on bait and tactics.

Lots of work has been carried out at this venue over the last 12 months. As a result the fish have been piling on the weight and have been caught from all over the lake.

As far as rigs and baits are concerned, the best advice is to keep it simple and keep the bait to a minimum until you are certain you are on fish and confident of catching.
