Carp Fishing In Hampshire
There are many opportunities for carp fishing in Hampshire, but in this article we are going to focus on the wonderful Broadlands Lake near Romsey.
Broadlands Lake: An Overview
There are 117 pegs spread across the 26 acres of water that the main lake has to offer, with a stock of 6000+ carp up to a lake record weight of 38lb. More than 500 of the carp are in excess of 20lbs, so there is a real chance of a red letter session when visiting this fishery.
There are 2 islands on the main lake which are obvious hotspots, while the deeper margins are also known to produce fish. The average depth of the lake is around 6ft.
The north bank of the lake is within 200m of the busy M27 motorway, so many anglers opt to fish on the opposite bank behind the cover of the island to keep disturbance to a minimum.
