About the water

Wood Lake, Busbridge, is a five-acre lake in Godalming Angling Society’s woodland estate at the foot of Ladywell Hill in Tuesley Lane. Also known as Busbridge Lower Lake, it was purchased by the society from Ladywell Convent in 1987 after more than 20 years of fishing and managing the water. There are 40 swims, several with enough room for two anglers. The swims have been designed to provide space and a level fishing area. Listed species include common and mirror carp, pike, perch, roach, rudd, bream, tench and gudgeon. The lake has produced carp and pike weighing over 30 lb. Access is through locked gates using the standard issued key. A large car park and a portable toilet are provided. The dam wall has level access from nearby parking, and pegs 1–5 are readily accessible by wheelchair. Access elsewhere varies: some swims require assistance, some have unsuitable steps, and concrete ramps on the right may require help because of their gradient. No swims have safety bars. Day tickets and guest tickets are not available. The lake closes from 15 March to 14 April inclusive and also closes during a Met Office Amber wind warning. Keepnets are banned except in authorised competitions.
