Pleasure Fishing

The good days pleasure fishing are very much revolved around the milder weather temperatures so it is advisable to take note of this before you pick your day to fish. The warmer days are producing match weights up to 80lbs and these comprise of carp and bream. Feeder fishing has been producing the most consistent results but fish can be caught still on the pole when conditions allow.
Moat Pool : The new carp are still showing in amongst the original fish and the best reports are up to 15 carp plus a few bream in a day, with bigger carp to 15lbs showing in areas to bomb and meat or corn tactics.
Croft Pool : The sheltered or reeded areas are still the most consistent with carp to 6lb on pole and pellet or corn at 6 and 12m, or feeder with maggot to the reeds. Croft is due to have a stocking of bream in the next few weeks, so we expect these to provide good sport for the pleasure men.
Bridge Pool : Some nice nets of Carp and Skimmers are showing in the milder weather conditions, pellet feeder to the middle is as good a tactic as any at the moment. Also, pellet on the pole is best for the bigger bream, but maggot or caster will get plenty of bites, especially on the island pegs.
Reed Pool : Bream and other silver fish still coming to pellet or maggot at 8 and 11m. Carp showing to legered baits of meat or corn mainly to the middle of the lake.
