The smallest of the Lower Broadheath waters, Elgar Pool has matured nicely and was given its name because it is the water nearest to the birthplace of Edward Elgar, the world-famous composer, which is just over the hill from the fishery.

Although Elgar is only small at about three-quarters of an acre in size, it holds some big fish and is well-worth the trip to the far end of the fishery if the other pools are looking busy.

Ranging in depth between six and eight feet and offering 17 well - spaced pegs, Elgar has a reputation for its large roach as well as common, mirror and crucian carp.

In addition, there are a lot of rudd in the water which offer great sport, particularly in summer when fishing for them just under the surface with caster certainly provides an entertaining few hours!Those after the bigger fish are advised to fish pole or waggler using sweetcorn, luncheon meat or chopped worm.
