Vale Farm Fishery

Location

Vale Farm Fishery sits in the northern part of Hampshire, at Longparish near Andover. Just five minutes from the A303, it's easy to reach whether you're coming from the city or the countryside. The fishery boasts three well-stocked commercial lakes set against idyllic surroundings, making it a pleasant spot for anglers to visit.

The Lakes

The three lakes at Vale Farm offer a unique fishing experience. You can cast your line within twenty feet of another angler without even knowing they're nearby. This creates a peaceful atmosphere where you can focus on your fishing. Each lake has its own character: the middle lake features an island where anglers often cast, while the right-hand lake offers a more secluded spot for those seeking tranquillity. The left-hand lake sees fewer visitors, perfect for those who prefer a quieter fishing session.

Fish Species

Vale Farm Fishery is home to a good head of carp, with some impressive specimens reaching up to 29 lb, including a notable Ghostie in the middle lake. The right-hand lake is known for its large doubles, some weighing up to 23 lb, and also houses tench, bream, and a plethora of rudd for those who enjoy quantity over size. Meanwhile, the left-hand lake regularly hosts shoals of good-sized common, cruising close to the surface and providing ample opportunities for a successful catch.
