About the water

Sandhurst Lake is a 14-acre gravel pit on the eastern side of the Yateley complex. Its banks are lined with mature woodland, with purpose-built swims offering shelter. The water is relatively shallow, ranging from 2ft to 10ft deep, with an average depth of 5ft. There are numerous gravel bars and other underwater features, and fishing is permitted from the lake’s single island. The venue offers day-ticket carp fishing and states that it is more suited to experienced carp anglers. Its quick-facts table lists a stock of more than 400 carp, an average weight of 26lb and a venue record of 50lb 3oz. Bream weighing over 16lb are also listed. The website gives conflicting swim totals: the introductory text refers to 31, while the quick-facts table lists 28. Anglers may use a maximum of three rods. The website states that the OMC Magic Twig is banned until further notice while the venue carries out its own testing. The lake map also marks Swim 5 as closed to fishing and identifies a barbecue area. The fishery’s address is Swan Lane, Yateley, Hampshire, GU47 9DA. Anyone wishing to view the fishery must arrange an appointment beforehand. Telephone enquiries are accepted between 9am and 7pm, except in emergencies.
