Established in 1906, Farnham Angling Society has grown into the leading angling club in the south of England. Their members can fish over seven miles of rivers and fourteen stillwaters in Hampshire, Berkshire & Surrey. FAS offers an enormous variety of angling opportunities to members of all ages and experience.

With fifteen stillwaters, varying from picturesque estate lakes and larger impressive gravel pits, to small, well stocked ponds, Farham Angling Society are able to provide match, pleasure and specialist anglers with over 160 acres of Stillwater fishing and 7 miles of river fishing.

Their excellent stillwater fisheries offer the opportunity to explore a variety of different fishing techniques for 364 days a year on many waters. With around 500 swims to choose from and secure parking on many of our venues, you can look forward to relaxing and productive fishing. The river angler is catered for with three miles of the River Loddon, a section of the River Whitewater and over four miles of the River Wey. These rivers offer some excellent angling opportunities.

They have a very active junior where the younger members can learn a thing or two from the older members. The senior match section has enjoyed some great competition with outstanding catches during the last few seasons.

The society has a strong commitment to providing facilities for disabled anglers, with a number of their fisheries now featuring specially constructed swims, where priority is given to disabled anglers to fish, both in safety and comfort. Additionally, all their toilet facilities are wheelchair accessible.

Southlake Angling Society is a thriving angling club, situated in Woodley, Berkshire. Established in the 1960's the Society has three venues, catering for the specimen hunter, match and pleasure angler alike.

Southlake AS was started on a former estate lake at Southlake in Woodley. A number of years later they took on their second venue, a gravel pit lake at Tippings Lane. And then in 1976 they started to rent another gravel pit lake near Twyford from Redlands Aggregates [now Lafarge], this lake known as Redlands was purchased by the club in 1999. There have been many stockings of Carp, Tench and silver fish over the years and more will take place in the future. They are very proud of their fisheries. They offer a superb selection giving members virtually all the sport they could wish for.

Club Waters:
- Southlake
18 acres with around 30 swims is the main carp fishery. There are at least 10 different 30lb fish including 2 commons and the lake record, a mirror at 39lb 10oz. These are supported by a stock of 20lb fish with a large proportion of these being upper twenties. The non-carp anglers are catered for with tench to over 9lb, plus good stocks of roach, rudd and perch. Pike anglers will also find Southlake to be very productive in the winter, as multiple catches are possible with plenty of fish to low doubles.

- Tippings Lane
An 11 acre gravel pit with 35 swims. This has historically been our main tench water with plenty of 3-5lb fish available throughout the season, with the largest recorded at just under 9lb. We have introduced new stocks over the past few seasons to ensure that continues. The lake can be weedy in the summer months, but this has had some benefits as the large shoals of rudd have certainly enjoyed the natural food and now average ¾lb, with fish recorded at over 2lb last season. In addition to the tench and rudd there are plenty of roach to 1lb, bream to 8lb and perch to 2lb. The lake holds carp with the largest reported last season a 36lb common, being a new lake record. Tippings Lane is strictly June 16th to March 14th fishing only

- Redlands
Redlands is just over 8 acres with 40 swims and is owned by the Society. This lake is the general fishery with matches being held throughout the season. There are large shoals of bream to over 8lb, plus good stocks of roach, rudd, tench, perch and pike. The lake is also stocked with carp, the lake record being a heavily scaled mirror of 36lb. There are several upper 20lb original fish including 2 commons of 28lb. These original fish are supported by a quantity of fast growing "Fishers Pond" mirrors. The majority of these were stocked in 2001 at just over 6lb and several of them are now over 20lb and the best last season was reported at 25lb 4ozs. There is also the backwater of the river Loddon running alongside the lake. This can throw up surprising catches at times, with barbell reported at 8lb 12ozs, chub to over 5lb and good bags of roach and dace. At Redlands there are a number of swims that have been prepared to cater for disabled anglers. Redlands has no closed season, however the river adjoining the lake is strictly June 16th to March 14th fishing only
