About the water

Hordle Lakes is a six-lake coarse and carp fishery on Ashley Lane in Hordle, Hampshire. Established in the 1980s, the fishery came under new family ownership in March 2024. Its waters are Kingfisher, Spring, Willow, Long, Tiddler and Tench lakes. Kingfisher is the specimen carp lake, with carp stated to reach 31lb and fish in the mid to high twenties. The website notes that crayfish are present in this lake. Across the coarse fishery, listed fish include tench and bream to 7.5lb, roach to 2.5lb, crucian carp to 2lb and perch over 3lb. Rules vary between waters. Kingfisher is restricted to anglers aged 18 and over, with a maximum of three rods, one of which must be in the margin. Cradles and slings are provided there, but anglers must bring and dip their own landing nets. Tench Lake permits two rods and requires a carp care kit, as does Kingfisher. Anglers must sign in at the shop, or telephone if it is closed. Barbless hooks are required, rods must not be left unattended and rubbish must be taken home. Dogs are prohibited. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult on Tench, Willow, Long and Spring lakes. A tackle shop and equipment dip tanks are stated on the website.
