Chestnut Pool is the water furthest from the entrance at Pipehill Fisheries and can be found down the track just past Birch Pool.
Slightly smaller than Birch Pool it has 14 pegs set 10 metres apart and again opened for fishing in 2013.
Its main feature is a sunken island about two feet under the surface which has been planted with reeds.
The contours of Chestnut Pool are much the same as Birch Pool being an average of about five feet deep with an underwater shelf running all the way round the margins and the island.
Again it holds a mix of commons, mirrors, ghosties and F2s as well as chub, tench and barbel but the fish tend to be smaller with the carp averaging about 1lb 8oz and running to about 5lbs.
Like Birch Pool, Chestnut Pool has already established itself as a popular pleasure water with anglers fishing in the margins, to the island and in open water.
Because the fish tend to be smaller than in Birch Pool anglers can fish lighter tackle and popular baits have again proved to be sweetcorn, luncheon meat and soft hooker pellets although maggots and casters also work well as the fish seem prepared to take anything offered.
These are best fished in conjunction with free offerings of feeder pellets.
