There are now four ponds at Risby Park which first opened for fishing approximately 12 years ago.
Gillen Springs
The carp pond (Gillen Springs) is heavily stocked with mirror, common and ghost carp from 4 oz to 22 lb, tench from a few ounces to 3 lb, bream to 7 lb and there are also small roach and varying size 'ide' and perch. The depth of water ranges from 5 ft around the island to 7 ft 6" at peg 1/38 end.
The Gorse
The tench pond (The Gorse) is again heavily stocked with predominantly tench to 10 lb, ide to 3lb, skimmers to 8oz and there are also stocks of chub and roach. This pond is particularly suitable for the younger angler as there are plenty of 'bites' to keep the interest flowing.
Match weights, which have increased annually, have been recorded at around 60 lb for both ponds. Depth on the tench pond varies from 2 ft 6" at the narrow end, 4 ft 6" at the aerator and a maximum of 6 ft 6" at the widest end.
Folly Lake
Folly Lake which opened on 10th July 2002 is our new 3 acre match/pleasure lake. This renovated historic lake, nestled within Risby Wood is bounded by an ancient folly and boasts ample , convenient parking and a generous peg spacing of 12 metres. The lake has been extensively stocked at the latter end of 2001 with thousands of fish, predominantly carp ranging from a few ounces to 10 lb, Ide from 2oz to 3lb, Tench to 5lb, Skimmers /Bream to 3lb and some roach and perch. Initial pleasure nets have exceeded 100 lb of fish and the current match record is 61lb for a five hour match.
Our latest pond to open is the 'Orchard Pond' located adjacent to the carp pond. Nestled between two wooded areas, the pond has its own car park and has been pegged at 10m intervals to accomodate 20 anglers. Initially it has been stocked with thousands of small carp to 2 lb with bags of up to 60 lb being recorded. Once again this will be a firm favourite for the novice angler.
