Kingfisher Pool
This pool is closed for reconstruction at present
The Kingfisher Pool was the first pool created at Spring Lea in 1991.
It has a very interesting shape, with a large main section and a much smaller secluded one, connected by a long tree lined channel, providing anglers with many varied and attractive pegs.
A small bridge leads to the larger of the two islands in the pool.
The Kingfisher holds common and mirror carp in to double figures. There are also good stocks of Crucians, Tench, Roach, Orfe, Bream and Perch.
Mature trees surround the smaller of the two sections of the pool and the channel.
The small section has only room for about 7 or 8 anglers and the pegs have been cut between the gaps amongst the trees, making it a great spot for those who prefer a more secluded place to fish.
Kingfisher is mainly used for pleasure anglers, but does have occasional matches.
Horseshoe Pool
As its name suggests the pool is horseshoe shaped, bordered on one side by mature trees that provide good shelter on windy days.
It has 26 pegs and depths gently slope to a maximum of around 6 feet.
The Horseshoe holds Common, Mirror, Leather and Crucian Carp. (some are 20lb+)
There are also good stocks of Tench as well as Roach, Rudd, Orfe, Bream and Perch.
Mallard Pool
Opened in 1994, Mallard Pool is about 2 acres with 48 pegs, making it the largest of the pools at Spring Lea.
It gently slopes to a maximum depth of 8 feet, but anglers should not ignore the margins, as some of the best Carp are often caught close in.
Mallard pool contains; Common, Mirror, Leather, Grass and Crucian Carp. There are many double figure Carp and several have exceeded 20lb. There are also good Tench to over 3lb as well as Roach, Rudd, Bream, Perch and Orfe.

Orfe Pool
The Orfe Pool was opened in 1996. It was designed with match fishing in mind, a regular oblong shape.
