As you can see from these photos, we have introduced a consignment of excellent mirror carp together with several hundred small tench. Thanks are due to Dennis (top) and Twig for their help with moving these fish. There is also a good population of roach and gudgeon which feed up in the water together with chub and some barbel to 7lbs (see the picture of Craig Frick with his cracking fish caught recently). Regular feeding is the key to success but don't overdo it, especially in the early spring. Maggot scores well as does a caster and hemp approach. It is often best to fish right in close to the steep sides of the pool where fish congregate for natural food. To attract the barbel, sweetcorn, luncheon meat or bread produce most fish.

In summer, there is no better place to be than this beautiful part of Warwickshire's countryside. Butterflies, dragonflies and many different bird species abound, including large numbers of skylarks. Using a waggler or pole rig on the drop is a great way to catch at this time of year. Set at 4 or 5 feet deep and start feeding a few maggots very regularly. This will soon bring gudgeon and roach to your bait and later chub and barbel will come to investigate.

In windy conditions, a pole gives better control over your float, a whip fished in close with pinkies over cloud groundbait also works well. When the weather is very cold, a sliding float or ledger is the method to use.

PLEASE NOTE. If you are fishing sweetcorn or luncheon meat, tins are not allowed at the water. Use a polythene bag and make sure that you take all your litter home.
