Cemex Alresford Fishing

- Category: Uncategorised


A fantastic new angling experience can be had at CEMEX Angling's Alresford Complex. With four very well stocked lakes including some very special stocking of our own carp, we feel that this venue will suit every angler, young or old no matter what experience you have. There's a lake for you on this complex.
Tickets for CEMEX lakes at Alresford can be purchased directly from our shop.
Day Tickets £10 per 12 hours; £20 per 24 hours.
Jerry’s Lake 11 Acres.
The main lake on the complex is just shy of 11 acres in size and compromises of shallow bars, gravel humps, silt-filled gullies and secluded island areas. In its quarry days this part of the site was included in the main quarry face, which is why the bottom contours of this water are so varied, and a fantastic proposition for carp and angler alike.
CEMEX Angling has stocked over 300 carp into its weed-filled waters, with specimens to 29lb 14oz being the largest at the time of introduction. Thirty custom made pegs have been dug into the bank on this site to provide comfortable yet practical angling opportunities throughout this fantastic day ticket water. Also, trees have been planted to allow screening from other anglers and to provide marginal habitat and cover for the many animals, birds and insects that inhabit the site.
Special care has been taken in choosing the stock for this lake to ensure that all the fish caught will be stunning to the eye and heavy in the weigh sling! The mainstay of the stock are CEMEX Angling’s own Sutton strain fish, although a high proportion of the stock is derived from Leney-Dink crosses. This mix was intentional to create a good blend of fish in the water and ensure that no particular fish strain becomes dominant and allowing a more balanced stock.
Hall’s Lake 3 Acres.
This water has been designed with the pleasure/match angler in mind and compromises thirty purpose-built fishing platforms to allow comfort and space for all who wish to ‘have a dangle’ in its blue waters. Stock ratios have been carefully monitored to ensure good catch returns and consistent sport whilst not developing it into an over-stocked commercial water.
A great deal of time, investment and thought has gone into the lakes’ development, in terms of planting schemes and the recycling of waste products to highlight CEMEX Angling’s commitment to managing its waters in a sustainable and responsible way.
Stock in the lake consists of all the usual species found in match waters although the bias of this lake is not carp but bream and tench with perch, chub, roach, rudd and crucians making the rest of the lake’s population. There are a number of small carp in this water but not to the same extent as can be found in other match waters. Here, the match angler can go back to when carp didn’t dominate catch weights and a mixed coarse fish bag was sufficient to claim the silverware. A year since opening and half way through the planned stocking of this water and already consistent bags of mixed silver fish and good bags of small bream are reported in by our bailiff team.
Ellis Pit 1 Acre.
A desire to return to those misty, spring dawns and hazy summer afternoons has been behind the creation of this water. Set aside from the rest of the site, this lake was screaming out to be developed as a specimen tench and Crucian water holding tench in excess of 8lb and crucians topping the 2lb mark.
The crystal clear water which is to be found in this little half-acre pond is teeming with aquatic life and provides a fantastic habitat for the pond’s residents. With just these two species present in this water it enables you to set your stall out to try and catch one, knowing you won’t be pestered by nuisance fish. If you fancy going back in time to those exciting days of float fishing for the unseen giants that were always found in your local pond and realizing your dream as the brightly tipped float dips and them disappears into the depths then this is the water for you. Your Mr Crabtree dreams are to be found here.
