Smaller than Bills Lane Pool, Bridge Pool is a charming little water which is especially popular with younger and older anglers and those looking for a bit of seclusion.
Set amid trees, it offers about a dozen pegs but, despite its size is deeper than Bills Lane Pool at about eight feet round the edges and 10 feet in the centre.
Although all pegs offer an equal chance of catching, the peg between the two trees on the far bank from the former Bills Lane car park (pictured below) is popular because it holds a 12ft hole about a rod length out which is a favourite haunt for fish, particularly in colder weather.
Bridge Pool holds mirror carp to 25lbs, commons to 16lbs and ghost carp to 12lbs, although the average size for all three is generally between 2lbs - 5lbs.
In addition there are crucian carp to 3lbs but averaging about 12oz, roach to 12oz, perch to 2lbs and bream to 5lbs with the average between 3lbs and 4lbs.
Although you can never be sure what you are going to catch in Bridge Pool, the most predoiminantly caught species tend to be the carp and bream and techniques for fishing the water are much the same as Bills Lane Pool.
