Also 25 acres in size, Windmill Pool offers 45 pegs along The Tins (east bank) and 12 along the dam.

It should be noted that the dam cannot be fished when water levels fall by much more than two feet.

There is a sailing club on this pool and when water levels fall, anglers should take care to sink there lines if they are fishing a feeder at beyond 20 metres.

In particular, it is recommended that they should avoid braided lines which float high in the water.

Bream are the main quarry in Windmill Pool and the most successful method is to use an open ended feeder loaded with brown crumb and either red maggots or worm - or both - on the hook.

There is also a large head of specimen carp which have outgrown Engine Lake and have been moved to Windmill.

Cage feeders are not recommended because there is often a strong tow in the water and a cage feeder releases the ground bait too early as it falls through the water.

Obviously the same applies to the Method Feeder, although this problem can usually be overcome by making the Method Mix a little firmer and slightly larger than you normally would to ensure it reaches the bottom quicker and stays together better.

Roach and perch are abundant and good weights can be caught with the pole.

Favourite pegs are the 30's and 40's on The Tins or along the dam if water levels allow.

As would be expected, the waggler also can produce good results although it pays to take a selection including some weighted floats as the fish can sometimes be a fair way out and these should be shotted near the hook length to overcome the tow.

There is not so much of a problem when fishing closer in along the west bank, wher many anglers prefer to fish the open space between the weed beds rather than close in against them as they say the weeds are home to many pike and the silver fish prefer the safety of open water where they can see what's going on!The manager of the Reservoir public house usually does not object to anglers parking in his car park provided that they purchase refreshments at the end of the fishing session!
