Willow, Rowan, Yew Tree & Oak Pools (Belmont Estate)

Brief description of fishery:

Willow Pool has a good stocking of carp from a few pounds to low double figures which provide excellent waggler and pole fishing, especially during the summer months. There are also a good head of silvers which can keep the bites coming throughout the year. 

Rowan Pool is the smallest pool on the complex and had a healthy stock of small carp from 3 to 6lb in weight, ideal for getting younger children into the sport

Yew Tree has carp between 8 and 11 lb and a few VS and Coarse Fish UK Carp were also added, with the average weight being 9lb, ideally a feeder  water, but make sure your elastic is heavier if tackling this pool with pole tactics as it’s bound to get stretched!

Oak Pool currently contains carp to mid-doubles, roach, and perch. Day tickets are sold on this pool for campers on the adjacent site.

Fish Size:

Carp up to low double figures with silvers touching 1lb or so. Some big Perch touching 3lbs have occasionally been caught too.
