1 Acre(s)
At just a quarter of an acre in size, Small Pool is oval shaped with only three designated pegs, although anglers can fish wherever they want on the grass banks of this open water snag free water.
It can accommodate about eight anglers in comfort.
Small Pool is easy to fish because it has an average depth of only five feet with two or three occasional deeper holes where the bottom drops to eight feet.
These provide ideal holding points for the fish in winter but makes plumbing the depth essential for those anglers who want to target these deeper points.
Although Small Pool is not as big as Large Pool, it is stocked with a similar range of species and sizes as Large Pool, so the opportunity to catch some nice fish is as good as for those anglers who fish Large Pool.
As a result, there are carp to into double figures to be caught in Small Pool as well as some nice pleasure roach, perch and tench.
Indeed, the opportunity to catch some nice fish was enhanced over the 2008 / 2009 winter with the addition of some 10lb - plus carp as well as 250 kilos of fish in the 1lb 8oz to 3lb range together with some 5,000 four to six inch silver fish and tench being added in Spring 2009.
Small Pool is again predominantly a pole and waggler water with maggots, sweetcorn, luncheon meat and bread being the most favoured baits.
