Species and Methods

• Trout. Spinning with minnow type lures such as a ‘devon’ works well. A fish of 8.5 kilos (18.7 lbs) was reported from here! Both brown and rainbow trout are present
• Carp/Barbel. This water is more noted for its bass and trout fishing, however, a good head of carp and barbell are present. Most fish are small, but some nice mixed bags can be taken on swimfeeder tactics.
• Bass. Fish to 1.5 kilos (3.3 lbs) are present. They can be caught while spinning for trout with ‘devons’, but rubber worms and the like fished more slowly will produce a lot more fish.
• Madrilla. Fish pieces of worm or maggot on a light float rig for lots of these small fish.

Species and Methods

• Trout. Not a lot of fish present, so probably not worthwhile specifically targeting them. Some fish will come to worms intended for bass or barbel.
• Tench. Ledgered bread flake or corn over a hemp based groundbait will bring some tench, although the population is relatively small.
• Barbel. Fish to 6 kilos (13.2 lbs) have been caught here. The bigger fish tend to come from the tail of the fishery. Fish pellets or paste over hemp for plenty of action. Boilies also score.
• Bass. These take a back seat to the barbell on this water. Worm and maggots produce lots of small fish.
• Madrilla. Fish pieces of worm or maggot on a light float rig for lots of these small fish.

Species and Methods

• Trout. Not noted for its trout fishing, but some fish are there if you persevere. Fish small spoons or mepps style spinners for the odd fish. Evening time is the best.
• Carp. This is a very good water for match style fishing for small carp. Good bags can be taken in relatively short periods. Maggots, corn and pellets are the baits to use. Fish a waggler or pole up in the water.
• Tench. A good population of small fish are present. Fish strawberry corn over groundbait., with a small feeder, for best results.
• Barbel. Not as prolific as the carp or tench. They tend to be caught while fishing for tench or carp on the bottom. The same tactics employed for tench will work.

Species and Methods

• Trout. Only the odd, old fish still lingers here. Fish small spoons or minnow type lures for the very occasional fish. Those that do get caught are usually by bass anglers.

• Barbel. Feeder fished pellet or corn, particularly at the tail of the fishery, works well. The fish are not very big but fight very well.
