Carp Lake
The Carp Lake at Pool Bridge Farm is a runs water heavily stocked with carp weighing in the late singles to early doubles. The carp from the Old Coarse Lake have recently been moved to the Willows Lake and the Environment Agency has netted the lake to remove the unwanted silver fish. The number of anglers allowed onto the lake has been reduced and permanent pegs have been put in place, this will ensure that the fishing remains of the highest quality. The lake cannot be night fished and no matches are held on this lake, it is available for pleasure angling only.

Old Coarse Lake
The Old Coarse Lake at Pool Bridge Farm was originally dug in the 1960‘s but has just undergone a major renovation during the winter months. The lake was completely drained and de-silted and the banks have been reshaped. The water level is about 1ft higher than it was previously. The banks have now been turfed and the pegs have been put in. The lily pads have been re-planted in a strip down the centre of the lake. The lake was stocked with just silver fish but we have recently stocked it with just under 1000 common and mirror carp!

The Old Coarse Lake is also available to be booked for matches.
