not fished it for over 30 years but loved it there , things that have changed , used to be behind working mens club , the nursery and big house are new plus the way the swims have been done , I bet other than the carp the fishing is still brilliant , if you got your shotting spot on you could have upto 60lb of quality roach in 5 hours ,
It was the first place I fished on my own when I was 6 or 7 sixty years ago , it had some lovely big roach and perch , I had a perch over 3lb , top end was big tench in those days .
Eco- pond,used to be a working mens club back in the day, meeting place for the mates to mess about! unbelievably changed from when used to go,no houses,building etc around the place,no platforms or safety measures. Fish wise was just silvers,at the back was a mass of weeds and lily pads,un-fishable.Can be noisy with nursery close by.Good roach can be caught on sweet corn,right hand side back close in Spring time. Bivys started to appear,very few matches ,maybe 1 a month. Plenty venues heading to chapletown and Highgreen.👍👍
Lovely looking venue Ben, bet there’s some good size silver’s in there 👍🏻
First place I ever fished with my Dad back in 1962 when I was 10 yr old, changed such a lot now.
Brilliant venue , accessibility is spot on, had many a good days fishing and at the price you can't go wrong
