hello James hows things ? hope dad is still working hard and she packed in smoking lol give me a shout if ye need help with the pond?

The water is so low due to when the cows go in the field they drink from the flash,, in the far corner there is flat section where they can gain access to the flash,, this is also the main over flow outlet so there smashing the oulet all the time, When i used to balif it we had to dam it up all the time to keep the water high. this need doing again, it needs to be damed up about 3 feet or more. then the carp can swim through the swallow section under the viaduct. The carp are still there but not as many ,, It was a comon thig to speak to anglers that have had 25 plus carp out in a night,, i know i did,,, the water will soon come back if the water is kept high. try the on at the top there is laods of carp in there,,

Cheers for the info . Iv tried google but not much info ,, will try the other options..

I used to be a balif for a water, and know at the time it was against the law to move fish without the Environment-Agency being informed, Even if you own the water,, but times might have changed ,,this was 5 years ago!

Hi all iv got a fishing match coming up soon at KINGS POOLS , Iv looked everywhere on the net for info on the place but cant find anything . does anyone know of a link to where i can find info or does anyone know of this fishery that can kindly help .. regards carl

Just an update on the flash.. Due to the amount of people that have been disapointed with the flash, John the farmer has plans to put an access road to a small car park at the top so you wont have to walkas far, Also he is still letting people fish ,, I had a walk round the other day and its looking a bit better there were carp crusing the top and a few people fishing, Plenty of PIKE being caught. The other side under the viaduct he still has access to just past the over hanging willow tree this is still producing carp But be pre warned the water has been netted by the woodlands trust and a big majority of the carp have gone. But there is a pond at the top of his land in the middle of the field that has not been touched, and is being fished quite offtern,this still has a very good head of carp, tench ,bream, carp to over 15lb were caught in there when i used to be balif so they could of gaind weight since then ( it was 5 years ago ) The other two ponds have been distroyed by the woodlands trust,,, ONE of witch used to have an otter visit every week eating the large musles,, so how the trust has got away with doing what they have i have no idea,,

Hi i used to baliff the water fop farmer john and yes its ture Woodlands trust did by the land but it was the surrounding land john still owns the flash from the largw willow that used to over hang on the ICI side , fishing is still alowed,, but you have to walk to the flash now, there is now carpark anymore as its now the woodland property. I had a walk there last september and was upset to see what state the water was in, to be honist if not fishable now in summer as its full of weed and the water is now only about 2 foot deep in the deepest part. Fish were gasping on the top as there was not enough water it was such a shame to see this water like this . the ice side is still fishable. All the other little ponds he had are not his anymore and the carpark pond lastime i saw it was like pea soup. I did complain to the trust about the way they have left the ponds and how the fish were but never recived a letter or nothing . If you want to do a bit of fishing have you tried the tench pit on the other side of the weaver. summer time is awesome for tench and golden rud, the od carp too. also if you fancy some trout or chubb there is a little brook there too bit of fun,, i do miss the water such a shame to see how its been left due to the trust.. carl
