This old half-acre pool, reinstated in 1990, is popular with some anglers who prefer its wooded seclusion to the main lake.

Deeper than it looks, The Duckery is about six feet at the point where you enter the fishery whilst the narrow arm behind the island to the left is only five feet on average.

However, the main body of the lake to the right shelves steadily to nine feet at its deepest before coming back up to seven feet as it goes behind the island.

Well-stocked with carp, roach and perch, The Duckery is perhaps most famous for its stock of indigenous mirror and common carp which are regularly caught between 8lbs and 15lbs and generally tend to give anglers a really good scrap.

With good heads of roach and perch it is easy to see why this little pool is so popular with anglers.

However, because the water is heavily reeded along its fringes there are plenty of escape routes for any hooked fish and many a good one has found freedom in the reeds.

When fishing The Duckery it is worth noting that boilies are not allowed.

However, float or leger fished luncheon meat, maggots, sweetcorn and bread usually do the trick.
