SOUTHLAKE
Southlake has been part of the society since April 1969 and provides specimen carp angling with fish over 40lbs. There are numerous 30lb plus fish, a great head of 20lb plus fish and a few young fish stocked a few years ago that are now upper doubles and growing fast. Southlake has a small stock of specimen-sized tench alongside roach, perch and plenty of pike that provide superb sport in the winter months.

LAKE DEPTHS
Southlake is your classic estate/park lake with depths ranging from a few feet to over 10 feet at its deepest point. The fish are caught all year round from all areas of the lake, and other than the out-of-bounds area behind the islands, there are no restrictions on where you can fish. Areas where fishing is NOT permitted are marked on the lake map and are roped off with floating buoys. Any anglers caught fishing in these areas will lose their membership immediately.
​
The vast majority of fish are caught at less than 50 yards' range, and standard carp fishing tactics should see good results. Weed, as with any gravel pit, comes in cycles. Some years the weed is non-existent, and some years there is much more.
​
Southlake enjoys public access around its perimeter and is located close to residential properties. Due care and consideration should be extended at all times when parking your vehicles; there is ample parking in Wallace Close, Rickman Close and in the area near Southlake Court. Please ensure that driveways and access to garages and other areas are NOT compromised.
