Situated amid a bluebell wood at the far end of the Kingston Coarse Fishing Pools site and served by its own car park, this delightful reed-fringed water is home to a good head of carp to over 24lbs.

Wood Pool also holds some good quality perch, although at times these can prove to be elusive and difficult to catch, as well as some nice quality roach and rudd.

About a third of an acre in size, the water's 4-5lb carp provide regular sport whilst the perch make Wood Pool an ideal place for younger anglers - float-fished single maggot normally guarantees a bagful and seems to work equally well for the bigger fish as it does for the smaller silvers.

Most of Wood Pool is three - to - four feet deep and only five feet at its deepest.

Although float fishing is an obvious choice, legered swimfeeder is also effective with sweetcorn and pastes also being popular baits.

In warmer weather the carp can often be seen cruising near the surface which makes fishing a floating bait a delightful method of taking carp - although be warned, these fish are timid and once they spot movement on the bank will usually disappear from view.
