There are a few carp that are over 15lb. This pool is great for catching plenty of fish with the added bonus of a bigger carp to be hooked. Favered methods on this lake is firstly the pole, as there are not to many large fish in this lake. 8,10 or 12 elastic is better for sport, 9 to 13 meters out on the bottom will see bites all day but with regular feeding the fish will come shallow lots of carp and ide will be the main biters (once you''ve feed through the rudd).12"minimum from float to hook. For lots of lovely golden & green tench a closer in attack is recomended fishing close to the margins or even under your feet will so the float going under all day but also be prepered for the carp to turn up as well as the hard fighting barble. Of cause the waggler will catch plenty of fish from all these areas too with soft pellets,corn and meat being the better summer baits - maggots, casters & worms also have there day but the hungry rudd and roach will take some perserverance. not to forget the swim feeders that will take lots of fish when they are feeding in the middle of the lake, groundbait,maggot or pellet feeder all taking there share of the fish. No floating baits or bread to be used in this pool, and only 1 rod allowed. There are different rules in this lake please check before fishing.
