ABOUT THE VENUE
These three small ponds situated near Verwood are the ideal water for youngsters to learn and
for the pleasure angler to have good catches in picturesque surroundings. With plenty of margin
lilies and an island in each lake this is the ideal water for stalking your quarry as well as
being a good water for floater fishing.
With fish to 20lb although sporadic there are plenty of doubles and single figure fish which
give a good account of themselves and provide excellent sport on lighter rods and tackle.
There is also a successful survival rate for the naturally spawned fish in these ponds and
quite often stocky sized fish and smaller can be caught fishing match tactics.
On the whole commons are the predominant strain of fish although there are some good mirrors
and ghost carp that are resident.
These waters are used to stock our bigger carp waters and have seen successful weights reached
by our fish that were stocked in past years. For this reason we do not like to see people using
too heavy lines, hooks and leads and would ask members to give a little thought to how heavy
they fish on these ponds.
Crucian carp are also resident in these ponds with fish in excess of 3 pounds being caught by
our members.
Good fishing all year round with closure for 1 month in may to june at present.
Please check match dates before fishing as this water is a match venue and may be closed on
