UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT FROM
SPRING 2026!!

Top Pool is the first lake you come to a syou enter the site. this is the closest lake to the lodges and the carpark and is ideal for less mobile anglers it offers flat banks and easy access. it  is the smallest pool on-site its Depth varies from 18 inches to 5 feet.

 

the Top Pool holds Common, Mirror and Grass Carp which run to around  17lb its recently had some new carp added between 5-8lb and has a good head of double figure fish theres also the odd small cat and few roch bream and perch.

 

all good corse baits and tactics will work well on here mothod feeders, float fishing, or carp fishing tacticas all work well. paticles, maggots, boillies pellets, groundbait are all good baits to use 

 

During the summer, when the fish can be seen cruising on or just under the surface of the water, floating baits such as bread and dog biscuits can prove fruitful. there are plenty of carp to go at so finding them is pretty easy and they are usualy keen for a feed!

 

If you're looking for a relaxing pool to fish with a good cahnce of a bite and easy access then the Top Pool is the top pool is a great choice for you!

Long Pool is the lake below the lodges and is on the left as you walk in the gate and down the path to the fishery. The long pool has banks that drop steeply to the bottom, with a maximum depth of between 6-7 feet.

 

the long pool holds a good mixed bag of fish, Grass Carp comon carp and mirror carp to 16lb  In addition to the Carp, we also have good stocks of decently sized Perch which in the past have been caught at up to 3lb . There is also a good volume of roach and Rudd which weigh in at around 1lb. and bream to 5lb and the odd gudgeon. this  is great for teaching kids to catch on the float or bag up on plenty of silvers and carp.

​

Similar to the top pool maggots, sweetcorn, pellets and bread all work well here, As with most pools, floating baits work best in the summer months and conventional carp and method feeders also work well for carp

 

Please note that night fishing is not permitted in Long Pool.

 

​

The largest of our waters at just under  three acres in size with 14 swims. this is our main specimen water with common mirror ang grass carp to 30lb pluss and catfish to 90lb there is the odd tench and rud  present to. but if your a serious angler looking for bigger specimens this is the place for you! good hits of catfish can be had from the deeper areas we have alot of 30lb pluss cats and have been stocking carp over the last 4 years and we now have a lovely stock of carp and a great mixed specimen lake.

 

Spring Pool sits in a lovely woodland setting, surrounded by trees down in the valley of the fishery with a main island, bridges, bays, overhangs and reed lines there are plenty of options on the fishing front and some lovely corner pegs to tuck your self away in. A path runs around the circumference of the lake to provide access to the pegs. we are in the middle of renovating all the swims on site.

​

The deepest of the four lakes, Spring Pool measures a depth of 12-14 feet in the center of the main bowls of the lake with shallower margins, some lovely gravel spots and a prety firm bottom all round with some softer areas by the reeds. 

 

When trying to target carp you want to be fishing in the shalow areas of the lake 6ft and under is a good starting point, fishing around the islands, up to the reeds and in the margins and bays are all great spots for the carp. particles boillies corn and pellet are all great for the carp, little bright popups work well in the spring and something a bit more subtle in the summer months. as with all the lakes surface fishing is a great way to catch carp in the summer. if targeting cats luncheon meat and halibut pellets are the go to baits fish in the middle of the lake in deeper water float fished worm worked at different depths can also bring good results in the deep water when the cats are not on the bottom.

​

these fish are very big so 42inch nets slings and large unhooking mats are a must when fishing here.

This lovely pool is surrounded entirely by trees and bushes. It features 4 pegs, although other areas can be fished from the bank should you wish to. . Common and Mirror Carp up to 20lb  with lots of Tench to 8lb , the odd catfish, Bream to 11lb  and Rudd also present.

 

Beech Pool has a depth of up to 14 feet and has steeply sloping banks down to the center, carp and tench can be caught all over tho the margins are always a good starting point.

​

As for bait, small bits of luncheon meat on the float work great for the tench along with worms and corn. boilies, and are recommended for Carp.

 

Like the other pools at Springwood, summer sees the Carp falling for surface baits of floating pellets or bread crust.

 

Night fishing is permitted all year round in Beech Pool.
