New Pond Fishing Guide, Surrey, England

• Overview

  New Pond is a Surrey water, in England. It lies 177 feet above sea level. It is pond-in-a-field scale, with the far bank a short lob away. Our Surrey list holds plenty of bigger water. Start from Pirbright, 0.9 miles down the road. Woking is the closest city, 4.3 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on New Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Reported across Surrey: European eel, roach, common carp, perch and northern pike. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. New Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 5°C to 17°C. Winter here means light layers, not lost months. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on New Pond more years than not. The first warm week of the year changes everything here.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. A campsite is mapped about half a mile away, which makes an early start easier. There are toilets mapped about half a mile away. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Stanley Pool at 0.3 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on New Pond is worth confirming on the day.
