Ideal for pleasure and younger or less experienced anglers, Middle Pool has 16 Pegs and is classed as probably the easiest of the Chorley Springs waters to fish, making it a great pool for familes and newcomers to the sport.

Like Top Pool, Middle Pool can again be fished on either pole or waggler close in or in open water, or on the feeder.

Middle Pool holds a good head and mix of fish including common, mirror, ghost and leather carp to 5lbs and averaging between 1lb 8oz and 2lbs; tench to 2lbs; bream to 3lbs; perch to 1lb 8oz; plus a large head of roach and rudd to 1lb and even the occasional goldfish!Not as open as Top Pool with plenty of trees and shrubs around the banks, like the other coarse fish waters Middle Pool is being improved with the replacement of the former grass pegs with purpose-built block paving pegs which will ensure a firm base with good drainage in wet weather.

Having a bowl shaped bottom, much of Middle Pool is between three and four deep around the edges before the bottom slopes gradually to a maximum of eight feet in the centre.

When going for the silver fish, anglers are recommended to use maggots, worm, sweetcorn or hooker pellets on fairly stout tackle, feeding little and often with samples of hook bait.

If going for the carp, maggots, bread, sweetcorn and pellets are again useful baits although it is expected decent results will also be obtained with small boilies and luncheon meat.
