At 13 acres, Broomey Croft is a true specimen water offering double figure bream, tench to 8lbs as well as a handful of other specimen fish including crucian carp and perch over 4lbs and pike into the mid-20lbs.

This is a shared water with the new Outdoor Education Centre which uses Broomey Croft for sailing, kayaking and windsurfing for schools and youth groups.

With these target species it is obviously well-suited to groundbait feeder and distance waggler tactics, although anglers are recommended to scale up their lines slightly.

The island pegs tend to be shallow at about three feet and are often weedy, but when the weather is hot in mid-summer and the feeding finicky, this is often where the fish can be found.

Both far side corners tend to have deeper water up to 10ft in places, whilst the middle pegs on the far bank from the car park tend to be shallower at four to five feet deep.

Broomey Croft has many underwater features such as gravel bars, channels and plateaux and anglers who locate these tend to have the most consistent sport.

The road bank is obviously well fished as it is nearest the car park.

It also faces the prevailing wind, so regularly produces good results, although anglers wanting to maintain consistency should fish a variety of pegs around the pool.
