Looking more like a small Norfolk Broad, this three-quarter acre 15-peg pool surrounded by reeds is popular with pleasure anglers because of the head of good tench, roach, perch, bream, carp and pike it holds.

Averaging eight feet deep with a clay and silt bottom, it is mainly float fished on the waggler using sweetcorn or luncheon meat hookbait over hemp for the tench, which run to over 7lbs.

Whilst there are carp to 14lbs and some nice pike to 17lbs, the majority of anglers fish the water for the roach, perch and bream, the latter which go to over 4lbs.

Pole fishing on Wolworth is also good because baits can be placed accurately next to the reeds against the far bank where the tench tend to hide during the daytime, coming out to the centre from late afternoon onwards.

Fishing is also good in the margins for the roach, bream and perch.

Fish mid - water and constantly loose feed with bait.

Again, one of the attractions of Wolworth Lake is the likelyhood of picking up a nice carp when bottom fishing for other species.
