A similar water to Pixley Pool but with fewer trees and shrubs on the banks, Glebe Pool opened for fishing in May 2012.

As a result, all the fish are in immaculate condition, most never having been caught before.

Glebe Pool is stocked almost entirely with common carp which average about 5lbs but which are known to run to 15lbs with some regulars saying they believe it holds fish to 30lbs.

Although there was only one peg on the pool until 2012, tree clearance and tidying of the bankside vegetation means the water can now accommodate a dozen anglers on 12 grass pegs which are clearly marked.

Depths vary throughout the pool, the water being about six feet deep along the bank by the entrance steps, about 15 feet deep out from the left hand bank and nine feet deep at the far end.

There is also an 18 feet deep channel which runs from the left hand corner of the pool as you come onto the water to a point mid way along the far end bank.

Glebe Pool is in the process of being developed as a specimen pool and as a result fish stocks will be changing over the coming months.

We will be including more details and photographs when this has been completed.

Techniques for fishing Glebe Pool are much the same as those used for fishing Pixley Pool with fairly strong pole or waggler tackle recommended for float anglers and tip or baitrunner tackle for ledgering further out.

As with Pixley Pool there is no need to fish at a distance as plenty of carp can be picked up close in.
