Description
Pondwood Fisheries is the premier fishing facility for anglers of all categories with three coarse fishing waters, one of which dates back to medieval times and one which is in excess of 30 years old. In addition there is the Snake, a still water course dating back to medieval times which was opened for day tickets in 2002 after widening and extension. The original 1 metre wide brook held fish into double figure weights. Since its widening and extension, the brook [now called The Snake River] has been stocked with thousands of fish, all home-grown at the Pondwood complex. These include carp, roach, chub, perch, rudd and tench.
The original Pondwood Carp Lakes are around an acre each. The older lake has an island in the middle accessible via a bridge. This lake has stocks of carp, tench, roach, chub and catfish. The carp were introduced around 25 years ago and are an Italian strain. They have been known to spawn 3 times per year. All the other fish are of unknown origin. For a full list of rules, see Pondwood Fisheries web site. Bookings for matches and competitions are a must.
