Synopsis
In the time since the Cemex sell-off, Yateley has had a new lease of life. Although those legendary carp like Bazil, Heather and their buddies are now long gone, the new stock has grown and returned Yateley to its former glory. Likewise, its banks may not now be trodden by the likes of Terry Hearn and me, but the anglers that fish Yateley now are just as passionate about the Yateley carp as we were 20 years ago. Every lake has come on in leaps and bounds in this time: The North boasts commons up to 54lb with a handful approaching 50, and the Car Park too has numerous good forties. The Split Lake is a real eye-opener with a good head of big fish up to 47lb! You would never have dreamed it. The Pads Lake, South Lake and even the diddy little Horseshoe and Pumphouse all contain big fish. The Pads has numerous forty-pluses. Over the other side of the road there is a similar story: multiple forties in the Match, some beasts now in the Copse and The Nursery holding fish to 47lb and maybe bigger, as its anglers keep very secret squirrel about what goes on over there. The Nursery is certainly Yateley's secret jewel in the crown. Hence the reason for this book… It’s been six years since the first two volumes, and the changes are phenomenal, the fish huge, and only living five minutes from the complex, I felt duty bound to record the history further on these lakes, the UK's true heritage waters. The format remains much the same: the page numbers continue through the volumes. Maybe in another ten years, there will be more history to record, even perhaps a Yateley British record… who knows? Now wouldn't that be something? I have also decided to include the Yateley lakes on the edge of the old Cemex complex, these being Little Moulsham, Mill Lane, Swan Valley and Sandhurst. Each contain their own treasures including a couple of fifties! Because of the sheer size of this project and to do justice to all the lakes there will once again be two volumes.we are the number 1 publisher
