The New Pool

One of our main match pools, holding 45 pegs the New pool is also known as the snake pool due to its shape.  There are a number of islands to fish to and the average depth around the pool is 5ft. Most pegs have an island to fish to, between 10m to 16m away

The pool is well stocked with f1 and f2 carp, chub, tench, roach, perch, carp, barbel, ide and bream.

There are some big fish in this pool in excess of 20lb but the main target is the f1 carp which go up to 4.5lb.  There are perch in here up to 4lb and chub up to 2lb.

There are lots of f1’s to be caught on pellet or meat.  The fish move well in the margins and on the surface.  In the warmer weather big weights are expected up to and over 200lb.
