About the Venue

These three ponds dug on old brickworks with a clay bottom offer the carp angler a chance to scale down on tackle and fish almost match tactics to bag up with mirror carp.
Major works were undertaken a few years ago and the ponds now offer members a chance to fish, all but in name, a new fishery.

With the majority of the fish being mirror carp, but with commons also present, these ponds are also used as stock ponds with the bigger fish earmarked for movement on to our other carp waters. With the bank sides and islands now all growing up after renovations, the Committee have already had positive feedback from many anglers regarding the looks and catches from the ponds and this will only improve as time goes by. A good number of fish have been stocked, so these ponds offer a chance for our members to catch good fighting fish in a pleasant environment.

Apart from carp, other species present in the ponds include tench, roach, rudd, bream, perch and crucians.

Depths range from 4 to 8 feet, but generally it’s pretty even all around the ponds. This is a popular match fishery with 100lb bags of carp not uncommon. It is a regular venue on the match calendar, so check the match section on the website and in newsletters for match dates before fishing. There is a one rod limit until November and a Club key is required to gain access to this fishery. Please limit your lines and hooks on this water, as fish only go to mid doubles and big hooks and too heavier lines have no place here. Fishing is from designated swims only. This is a day water only and night fishing is not permitted on this fishery.
