Deepened and widened in 2001 with improved access and landscaping, this two-and-a-half to three acre pool was dug in 1987 and stocked with five carp around the 20lbs mark.

Although those original fish were never removed they have not been seen in recent years.

However their offspring have thrived in what has been until the last few years a stock pond.

The Duck Pond is primarily a carp pool with tench from 1lb to 4lbs and carp from 8oz to over 20lbs.

There are also quite a lot of crucian carp which average between 8oz and 1lb 8oz.

The Duck Pond is a fully tree-lined oval pool with an island to one side.

Although much of the water is about four feet deep there is a a channel of around 8ft at the narrowest point between the bank and island and a shallow area at the far end of the pool.

Situated in a dip within a copse, this is a very warm, sheltered pool where water temperatures can be markedly higher than on the main fishery.

Duck Pond can be reached down a road which runs between Dam Pool and Middle Pool but because it is off the beaten track it is one of those waters where lone anglers can fish undisturbed.

Best baits tend to be sweetcorn, meat and bread.

Although boilies and nuts are not allowed floating baits tend to do well in summer whilst in colder weather maggots and casters are best.

Anglers are requested to take an unhooking mat.
