Facilities: Disabled facilities, toilets, night fishing and camping available.
Best Baits: Corn, meat, paste, banded pellet, chum mixer or worm all being successful on the right day. Hemp and pellet make an excellent feed, balling in groundbait doesn't normally work, but the 'method feeder' can be deadly sometimes.
Getting There: Leave the A3 near Guildford following the A281 for Horsham. After 2 miles you will come to the village of Shalford. At Shalford railway station, turn left to Shamley Green. Follow the road and go through the villages of Wonersh and Shamley Green on the B2128 and entrance 1 will be on your left [Ash and Alder lakes only]
50 yards further on is entrance 2 for Old, New, Top and Cherry Tree lakes. Continue on the main road for entrance 3 and take the first exit at the next roundabout and then turn immediately left into Smithwood common road. After 300 yeards take the first left [signposted Winterfold] and entrance 3 is on the left after 200 yards [Main lake, Oak Tree Lake, Club House and Bar].

Spring 2005 - Christmas Tree Lake, restocked last year, is producing 30lb nets of roach, rudd, skimmers and bream, plus the occasional tench to 6lb. Pittance Lake was restocked with carp to 7lb and tench to 2lb from Ash and Alder Lakes [which are now closed], and has been producing 60lb bags from most pegs using pellet or prawns just over the ledge or the method feeder cast tight to the island. Horseshoe lake is fishing well too with large bags of roach and the odd carp falling to pellet fished up in the water.
