On Sunday 3rd July 2011 the Bob Bennett charity
match was fished at
Shawfields lake and we have had the following response from the organisers.
On behalf of the angling Sections of the Grenadiers
Guards, the Aldershot Garrison, the Environmental Agency and ourselves,
the Surrey Police may I say a huge 'thank you' for the use of your water
at Shawfields for the above Match last Sunday.
The weather was kind to us, the fishing was far better than last year and
the result was quite exciting at the end with three of the Teams within
one point of each other.
The Environmental Agency won with 11 pts, the Garrison next with 12 pts
and we were third with 13 pts (and we were one man short). The top weight
was 37lb of mainly bream with the biggest fish weighing in at 4.9oz.
After the Match we retired to the Lion Brewery pub in Ash for a meal and
where the eldest son of Bob Bennett turned up to present the prizes and
socialise with the anglers. The event is run as a charity event for the
RSPB, Bobs favourite Charity, and at the end of the day I will be sending
a cheque for £225 to them as a result of this Match.
Thank you again and please pass on these sentiments to your Committee.

Waters
FADAS boasts a large selection of waters. There is something for everyone, from pleasure fishing on one of the lakes to match angling on the river or even speciment fishing for some of our big carp. Here you will find a list of available waters and some information about them.
Hollybush Pits
It is with great regret that we must inform you that the new owner of Hollybush
Lakes has chosen to close the water to us.
We therefore are no longer able to retain this water on our ticket. The water
is closed for night fishing from the 10th November and all fishing is to cease
from the 18th November.
Shawfields Lake
To find this water continue along the A 331 to the next junction, turn right at the roundabout into Aldershot turn right at the second set of lights into North Lane and at the second roundabout turn into Eastern Road at the end of the road walk along the footpath, over the second bridge where you will find the gated entrance onto the waters.
Set in a sleepy corner of Ash and backing onto the River Blackwater. Once part of the Willow Park complex these two lakes with deep channels and islands left over from the earlier days as gravel pits offer some of the best fishing in the area with good all year round sport.
The waters contain a large head of Carp Crucian carp Roach Perch and Bream. This water offers something for all types of anglers from Carp to Match fishing expert to novice all can have memorable days here. With sheltered swims and islands plus an abundance of wildlife makes it the place to be anytime.
There is no closed season on this lake and night fishing is allowed.
River Loddon at Winnersh
A truly superb water with two and a half miles of prime gravel river that fishes all season. When one thinks of Barbel people think of the Avon, Seven or Stour, but not FADAS anglers, who know 16lb fish have come from this water. The fish here are growing and breeding, but they take some catching so don't be afraid to tackle up if you want to land them. As well as Barbel there are Chubb to 5lb plus Perch, Dace, Roach, Bleak, Gudgeon, Pike and the occasional Trout.
With a side stream, Main River, snags trees and weed rafts what else can the river angler ask for? It's worth paying the membership for this water alone!
As if the Loddon isn't enough FADAS has over three miles of this lovely chalk stream, which we stock, and share with the trout anglers.
It may be shallow but under the banks there live chub to five pounds and in the glides you will find dace and roach. This is a superb winter fishery. Peace and tranquillity go hand in hand along this river. You can visit the trout fishing site for more information about the game fishing here.
Basingstoke Canal
FADAS is affiliated to the Surrey & Hants Basingstoke Canal Angling Association, to offer you over 30 miles of canal fishing, from Greywell Tunnel through Odiham, Dogmersfield, Fleet, Aldershot, Frimley, Woking and New Haw to the River Wey navigation. The canal is a far improved fishery with many thousands of fish introduced in recent years. In recent years it has been used by the NFA to host more than one National Championship as there so many fish to be caught. Join FADAS and you can fish the canal for free! To find out more about the Basingstoke Canal visit the BCAA Website.
