Three and a half acres in size and 13 feet deep virtually throughout, Home Pool was constructed in 1972 as a reservoir for the 90-acre Christmas Tree plantation near Blythe Waters.

Once used as a trout fishery, Home Pool is now being developed as a specimen water.

It was stocked some 10 years ago with carp of about 12lbs and many of these fish are now weighing in at over 20lbs.

In addition there are bream and tench to 5lbs as well as a good head of barbel, golden orfe, roach and rudd.

Shallow round the edge, Home Pool drops off rapidly to its deepest only 15ft out.

As a result it is most frequently fished on the bottom using boilies or pellets.

The largest known carp to come out of Home Pool weighed in at 31lbs, although a number of anglers have reported losing fish which they believed were even bigger than this.

Specimen hunters are reminded that this is a barbless hook venue, that fish cannot be kept in nets or sacks and they they should use an unhooking mat.

A night syndicate also runs on Home Pool and details of this cane be obtained in the clubhouse.
