Claremont Lake Fishing Guide, Surrey, England

• Overview

  Claremont Lake is listed under Surrey, England. The water sits 118 feet up. At roughly 7 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Esher is the closest place, 1.1 miles off. Oxshott follows at 1.9 miles, then Hinchley Wood at 2.2 miles. Close by you have: Black Pond after 0.6 miles, Stable Pond within 0.6 miles, The Lake after 0.8 miles, Boldermere Lake within 4.4 miles and Queen Mary Reservoir after 5.2 miles. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Claremont Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Open biodiversity records for Surrey list European eel, roach, common carp and perch. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Claremont Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 5°C in February and 18°C in July. Heat sets the pattern from late spring onward. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Claremont Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. A picnic area is mapped about half a mile away. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Esher Common covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Black Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing here settles the position at Claremont Lake for certain.
