Home to a great number of big fish, Willow Pool is one of Lower Broadheath's main competition waters and until July 2005 held the fishery match record with a 231lbs 2oz haul taken in July 2003 - a record which still stands for the water.

Generally deeper than Old Pool with an average depth of about 12 feet, Willow is deeper at the Old Pool end than at the Ash Pool bank where between six and seven feet of water can be found between five and seven metres out.

Widely regarded as 'everybody's favourite' because of the general stamp of the fish, Willow holds a good head of quality carp to over 20lbs plus some good tench and, until recently, bream between 4lbs and 5lbs.

Whilst the bream were a common sight, these have not shown as often in the past couple of years.

Although the tench tend to average about 3lbs there are a good many fish a lot bigger than this as well as a good head of decent rudd and Orfe running to 4lbs.
