Carp Lakes at Staines

The lakes at Staines have a long Carp history and hold fish to 40lb plus, they also have double figure Bream and Tench and big Roach and Pike. The waters at present are approximately 40, 30, and 15 acres although some of the big lake will be back filled over the next ten years and will eventually be about 15 acres.

RIVERSIDE PARKING

From the M25 junction 11 take the A317 sign posted to Chertsey. At the first roundabout turn left still on the A317. Proceed straight over traffic lights to T junction. Turn right onto bridge road over the River Thames. At the end of the bridge turn left by the Kingfisher Pub and follow alongside the River Thames. In front of you will see the M3 motorway bridge. Just before the bridge the entrance to Littleton South is on the right through a padlocked gate.

The entrance to Littleton North Lake is under the motorway and about 200m up on the right, again through a padlocked gate.

DO NOT PARK YOUR CAR ANYWHERE NEAR THE WATER SKI HUT. YOU MAY DRIVE ALONG THE LAKESIDE ON THE RIVER BANK ONLY.

PARKING ON LAKES ON OPPOSITE SIDE

South Lake: Continue past Kingfisher Pub until first roundabout. Turn left and just before M3 bridge turn left into Littleton Lane, car park down on the right hand side.

North Lake: As above and go under M3 bridge until you see Brett Aggregates on left hand side. Go into works past weighbridge bear round to right past the offices, bear left and the Car Park is on the left.

Go over two roundabouts and at the third roundabout turn right into Thorpe Lea Road. Go over railway crossing, over mini roundabout and take your fist left into Langton way. Go to T junction and turn right into Huntingfield Way. About 300m turn left into a track right beside a name road sign. Gate into lake is on the right hand side up track.

LAKE INFORMATION 

Littleton SouthLittletons

This lake is very deep in parts and gin clear. It has good stock of very large carp, best this year is a 41lb common. It also holds some very big Bream and Tench possibly of record size. There are two parking areas one being on the river bank and one on the far side.

The car park from Littleton Lane is near a residential travellers’ park. These people rent a field from Bretts for their horses and have been told to behave themselves. If you get any problem at all (I am assured you won’t) I want to know about it and Bretts will take it up with them.

Littleton NorthLittleton North Lake

This lake is different as chalk and cheese although the two lakes are joined. This lake is slowly being backfilled therefore the colour of the water is very sandy. It again holds some very big specimen fish of all species. Many Carp to mid 30’s I am told but location is harder. We share this lake with the water ski club.

DO NOT FISH IN SKI LANES CLEARLY MARKED WHEN SKIING IS TAKING PLACE. YOU WILL BE POLITE AT ALL TIMES TO SKIERS, ANY ABUSE AND YOU WILL BE EXPELLED.

You may drive your car along river bank to boundary clearly defined. Be thoughtful to other anglers who may be fishing that bank. Parking in the quarry is restricted to the car park just past the office, this is the only place which you may park, and you may need a barrow. Abuse this parking or leave any gates that were locked unlocked and you will lose your membership.  

Littleton North is located south of Staines close to Laleham and adjacent to the river Thames on its west bank. the pit is still being worked and back filled at the same time from teh North side and will eventually disappear completely from the map.

It is at best an unpredictable venue, full of massive Bream shoals with fish into double figures, Large Roach and Tench are also common. There are also some very large Carp but they are difficult to trace and catch. The pit is equally balanced as to fishing areas and there are no particular hotspots unless you make your own with a pre baiting programme.

Devils Lane Lake

devils lane lakeA lovely mature gravel pit of about 15 acres. It has shallow areas, deep areas, snags and reed beds it really has great potential. Stocks are an unknown quantity; the lake suffered a fish kill a few years ago, at that stage it was very overstocked. Therefore it may have been nature’s way of getting the lake back to rights.

No viral diseases were found in tests that were carried out on the fish. We will be carrying out a stock survey in the very near future and if we feel it needs further stocks then will carry this out. It has produced some very large Carp Bream and Tench since the fish kill so it may be the case that the lake is back in shape and just needs anglers to fish it.

Size: 40, 30, and 15 acres
Stock: Carp, Bream, Tench, Roach
