Like Charlie's, Bill's Pool was developed with input from Billy Makin and is again rectangular in shape with three central islands, giving most of the 27 pegs 11 metres of water to the opposite bank.

Once again anglers can fish from the center of the three islands and all pegs drop straight down to four feet throughout the pool.

Being the furthest water from the car park, Bill's Pool is often the quietest of the Broad Acres pools, and having more vegetation and cover than Charlie's Pool is perhaps more suited to pleasure anglers going after the common and mirror carp, the only species in the water.

The bulk of the carp are in the 4lb to 6lb range but some run to 14lbs and provide lively sport when on form.

Once again Bill's is virtually an out-and-out pole water, although there is nothing to stop waggler anglers sticking with more traditional methods if they prefer.

Best baits are again worm, maggots and casters with tinned meats and sweetcorn coming into their own in summer.

An ideal water to try out new techniques, tackle and baits, Bill's is again best fished close in to the side or close up against the far bank with regular feeding of hook samples getting the fish going and keeping them on the boil.

As with Charlie's Pool, angling clubs wanting to book the whole pool can do so at £140.

Anglers who want to fish on after the match has finished can do so at no additional cost although they may be asked tomove to another pool if the water has been booked for a second match later the same day.
