At over half-an-acre in size and holding a good head of mirror and common carp to over 20lbs and roach to over 1lb, Oakham Wood Pool is the largest and most popular of the Oakham Farm waters.

The average size for the carp is in the 4lbs - 5lbs range although specimens to 20lbs have been caught.

Much of the pool averages between five and six feet deep, except at the top end where it shallows to between two and three feet.

This is a favourite haunt for the carp in summer when floating baits can be effective.

As with the other Oakham Farm pools, all general baits are effective particularly the standard luncheon and dog meats, dog biscuits, pastes, sweetcorn and maggots for the carp and maggots, caster, worm and bread baits for the roach and bream.
