Malcolm Pool
Just over half an acre in size with a small island at the car park end, Malcolm Pool is an attractive reed-lined water with an average depth of about five feet but with holes varying between eight and 12 feet deep - making it worth plumbing the depth when pole or waggler fishing or seeking the deeper parts of the pool in winter. There is plenty of bankside vegetation to give cover for anglers.
Again just over half an acre in size, Magna is the original peat pool at Peatling Pools and has an island, a gravel bottom and average depth of five feet throughout which makes it an easy water to fish on either pole or waggler tackle.With plenty of bankside vegetation, it is a good water to get away from other anglers for those who like secluded fishing with a good chance of bagging up.
The furthest pool from the car park, Parva Pool may be the smallest of the three Peatling Pools at only a quarter of an acre and capable of accommodating only eight anglers, but it is a delightful and attractive little water with some impressive fish for its size.Again the water is very sheltered, being protected on three sides by trees, and can usually be fished on the float whatever the weather.
Plough and Harrow pools have been constructed on the higher ground to the right above the three original lakes and are initially being reserved for match fishing with weights of up to 260lbs already coming out.The success of Plough and Harrow can be judged by the fact that matches regularly throw up winning weights of 120lbs whilst the match record for Plough currently stands at 260lbs with Harrow
The first lake you come to on entering the Peatling Pava Match Lake site, Boat Pool - or Lake 'A' as it is sometimes known - is about three acres in size and accommodates up to 37 anglers on well-spaced pegs.With a central island, Boat Pool has banks which drop straight down to five feet before the bottom slides gently to a maximum of about seven feet, making the water easy to fish wherever you ar
Slightly larger than Boat Pool at three-and-a-half acres, Old Lane Pool has 44 pegs, is deeper than Boat Pool and has two islands.Also, unlike Boat Pool, Old Lane has a gently shelving bed going down to an average depth of about six feet, although up to 12 feet can be found in parts which makes it a good water for winter competitions. The corners also tend to be slightly deeper than the average de
The smallest of the three lakes at about an acre and a half, Silver Fish is the furthest pool from the car park but offers more features, water plants and bankside vegetation than the other two Peatling Match Lakes.Also, its central island is within easy casting distance of all the pegs on the water, which makes it more popular with waggler and swimfeeder anglers than with pole enthusiasts.
At an acre-and-a-half in size and with 30 pegs, Lake D or Pump Lake as it is known, opened in Spring 2008 and is throwing up winning match weights of 260lbs with most club match anglers needing 160lbs to 170lbs to be in with a chance of grabbing the top spot.With sides which drop pretty well straight down to an average depth of eight to 10 feet, both Pump and its new neighbour Marsh Lake have deli
Similar in size to Pump Lake but with 27 pegs, Marsh is different in that it has a long central sunken island which is being planted with marsh reeds and tussocks and is deeper with an average depth of 10 feet, making it slightly harder to fish with the waggler.Stocked with a mix of silver fish, Marsh holds roach, rudd, ide, bream, perch, golden and green tench and, more unusually, a head of barbe
