This picturesque 20-acre lake is surrounded by trees which makes much of it difficult or impossible to fish.

Also, as most of the pool is set aside for nature conservation, fishing has had to be limited to the bank adjacent to Engine Pool.

Fishing is available by season permit only and there is a close season between 15th March and 15th June inclusive.

Retained as an unmanaged natural fishery, Terry's Pool contains good stocks of bream, roach and perch as well as tench, pike and some large carp.

Indeed, many of the season permit holders see the carp as their main quarry, although a few also go after the bigger tench which are said to run to over 8lbs but which tend to populate the far end of the lake which cannot be fished.

Again, the Method Feeder seems to be one of the most popular techniques, although for the more traditional angler, this is a delightful water to float fish with a range of baits including bread, worm, maggot, paste, meat and sweetcorn.
