Willow was created by building a dam wall between the restructured Molands Mere and the old Third Bay.

To improve features, an island was created in the centre and the water.

Offering 13 pegs and reserved for pleasure anglers with only the occasional match being held on it, Willow Pool is well stocked with some decent sized hard fighting carp averaging 2lbs to 3lbs but running to double figures, tench averaging 2lbs but going to 5lbs, crucians to 1lb, skimmers to 2lbs and roach to 1lb.

A very consistent 'bites' water, Willow is served by its own car park and popular with anglers who don't want to fish the bigger Modlands Mere.

It is therefore favoured by those who are looking for a smaller, more intimate water, being an attractive pool with plenty of bankside vegetation and beds of water weed to fish to as well as more open water swims.

Regarded as a reliable water which consitently throws up good catches, Willow is a good long pole and waggler venue favoured to smaller baits such as caster, sweetcorn, luncheon meat and pellet fished under a float all being good ways to catch.

Larger expander pellets often account for the bigger fish.
