Yateley Complex

The Yateley Complex is a working gravel pit and a series of fishing lakes at Yateley, Hampshire, England, operated by CEMEX, the world's largest building materials supplier. The fishing side of the facility is under the management of CEMEX Angling, a subsidiary of the main company. CEMEX Angling operates 11 lakes at the site, which includes part of the River Blackwater and is stocked with a variety of fish. Around 5000 anglers a year visit the complex, which was also home to "Heather the Leather" , described as "Britain's most famous fish". In addition to angling use, some of the gravel pits have been restored as sports pitches and some were nominated as potential allotment sites.

Fishing is also allowed in the stretch of the River Blackwater that runs through the complex. The lakes are stocked with carp, bream, tench, rudd, catfish, roach, pike, silver fish and perch. One can fish for silver fish, carp and barbel in the Blackwater. The complex is popular with anglers and around 5000 fish at the site each year.
