Carp Care Guide
Looking after the fish you catch should always be your priority. Unhooking mats must be used at all times and fish should be treated with a dedicated carp antiseptic treatment such as kryston’s "Klin-ik" or the Korda care kits, these can be used on any minor cuts, or sores that may be present on the fish. Always make sure you keep any treatment away from the eyes and gills of the fish. Fish must never be left un-attended on the mat at any time and must be kept wet at all times. Fish are not to be retained in anyway except while photography equipment is being set up – sacks and keepnets are NOT allowed and fish may only be retained in a landing net or securely attached floating retainer sling for a short period of time.When photographing fish, watches, rings etc which may cause damage to the fish must be removed and the fish held low over the unhooking mat; anglers must not stand up while holding them. Fish should be returned as soon as possible after capture, support them in the water until they have recovered before releasing. All fish in excess of 40lb must be photographed in the water. - See more at: http://www.sandhurstlake.co.uk/the-fishery/#sthash.x5tiybDl.dpuf
Fishery Rules
The Sandhurst Lake is the youngest lake on the Yateley Complex and is situated to the east of the complex. It is becoming the most well known on the complex due to the fantastic day ticket fishing it provides. It is a relatively shallow lake with depths from 2 to 10ft, with an average of approximately 5ft. There is one island from which fishing is permitted, and numerous sand bars and features that can be easily located from a choice of more than 31 swims.
Some 400 carp are present in the fishery, the majority resulting from a 1998 stocking of fish averaging some 3lb in weight. These young fish now average over the 20lb mark and there are stacks of 25lb-plus fish and quite literally dozens of 30s with more and more coming through every season.
Very few day ticket waters give you the chance of a 40lb carp but the Sandhurst venue record currently stands at 43lb+ with several more over 40lb.
Please Note.. The Fishery is a secure site and can only be accessed on the purchase of a ticket or by prior arrangement.

History & Stock
A large stock of carp are present in the fishery, some of the older fish are the result of a stocking in 1998 which were stocked at an average weight of 3lb. These fish are now averaging over 30lb, with literally dozens going over 35 plus. The Venue record currently stands at 45lb with at least 10 more fish over the magical 40lb mark. In recent years we have introduced some hand selected carp for their different characteristics to complement the existing stock. They have come on leaps and bounds and our first stocking 6 years ago are now pushing way into the upper 30’s with a couple now nudging over 40lb. We have introduced different bloodlines including Harrow, Sutton, Dinkesbuehl and some original scaley leney's to give you a variety of individual looks and characteristics. The Harrow strain offers big shouldered sparsely scaled fish with a heritage of going over 50lb. The classic Sutton with its scattered linear scaling and the big dark apple slice scaling the leney’s offer give you a good variety of fish to target.
