Re-opened for fishing in April 2016 and reserved for pleasure anglers, House Pool has been quadrupled in size to privide some 35 pegs.
With three islands to fish to, the pool has a two feet wide, two feet deep shelf running around the edge which then drops gradually to a bowl shaped bottom with a maximum depth of 10 feet.
There are no shelves aorund the island which have banks which taper to the bottom.
House Pool has been stocked with the fish from the former Arrow Specimen Pool, which has been closed for the 2016 season so that it can be converted into a match pool ideal for small club matches.
This means that it now holds common, mirror and ghost carp to 24lbs as well as tench to 6lbs 8oz, bream and barbel to 4lbs, roach to 2lbs, perch to 1lb 6oz and rudd to 1lb.
Although surface fishing is not allowed, good results are being obtained by anglers using the zig-rig which allows baits to be adjusted until anglers find the depth where the fish are feeding.
All techniques seem to work well on House Pool with pole anglers catching well at about eight metres on pellets whilst rod and line anglers are catching decent carp on boilies, particularly 10mm and 15mm Mainline Essential cell boilies which have proved so successful that they are now being stocked in the on-site tackle shop.
Because of the good number of decent sized carp in House Pool, anglers are allowed to use two rods.
A significant feature on House Pool is the construction of three large disabled platforms, each of which will cater for up to four anglers, which will make the pool ideal for disabled groups once they are finished.
