Hampshire - Bourley Lakes Trout Fishery: Fishery reviews & tips

Bourley Lakes Trout Fishery

Bourley Trout Fishing Lakes are a two lake, club run fishery set in a beautiful tranquil Hants setting, surrounded by wildlife, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing day of fishing.

The regularly stocked lakes consist of a large 6.1 acre lake and small 0.9 acre lake. The large lake is a catch-and-take trout lake stocked with full-finned rainbow trout. The small lake is a catch-and-release trout lake stocked with full-finned brown trout.

The lakes proudly enjoy mayfly hatchings of the rare Ephemera Vulgata mayfly in the months of May and June, usually in large numbers, this is thought to be a very rare sighting and quite possibly the only fishery in the South East with this species.

These lakes are run by Bourley Fly Fishing Club (BFFC) who are a non-profit organisation offering fishing to armed forces, MoD civil servants, emergency services, NHS, veterans and dependents. There may be fishing options to civilians depending on availabily.

The lakes are located in the Aldershot area of Hampshire.

"Activity for week 14 - ending 06 April"

"Despite this week’s blustery conditions 29 members fished the lake catching 36 fish between them. The largest fish was 4.2lbs caught at peg 3 on a Hare’s Ear. The most successful files this week were Cat’s Whiskers, Hare’s Ear, various Damsels, Black Spider and Boobies.

Several members reported catches (and release) on the small lake, with a total of 7 Brown Trout being caught on Sedge.".
